The ISAPI version of PHP can be installed as an ISAPI filter to get in on the act early enough to get at the authentication headers, but is unlikely to be stable enough for production use. Depending on your requirements, your options are: Allow IIS to do authenticaton based on file permissions. The up side is that it's dead easy. The downside is that all your users have to be real users on the system with 'log on locally' rights. Use Apache instead. Cheers -- Phil Driscoll
