Martin, As confirmed in the php manual (www.php.net/manual), the $PHP_AUTH* variables are ONLY available under Apache, not IIS. In order to use these vars and the header functions associated with them, you would need to run Apache web server. Sorry if that doesn't make your day, but that's the way the PHP developers made it. -- Andy Hoffman Web Developer Bristol-Myers Squibb email: andy.hoffman@bms.com
