Hi, trying to do simple HTTP authentication (just to get it working, as the original mySQL connected version did not work -- same "symptoms") with this php code:

<?php
  if(!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER)) {
    Header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My Realm"");
    Header("Status: 401 Unauthorized");
    echo "Text to send if user hits Cancel buttonn";
    exit;
  } else {
    echo "Hello $PHP_AUTH_USER.<P>";
    echo "You entered $PHP_AUTH_PW as your password.<P>";
  }
?>
   
this is in a standalone file, login.php

it brings up the login prompt, but seems unable to get past that -- entering a login does nothing. The popup shows 3 times, then it redirects to a page displaying the results of the "echo "Text to send if user hits Cancel Buttonn";" line.

Not sure if i'm doing something wrong (doubt it, i copied this code from php.net after trying to write my own (which got the same results)) or if this is a bug....it may well be a bug with apache, but perhaps y'all know something about this....

Software setup info:

SERVER_SOFTWARE => Apache/1.3.20 (Win32)
SERVER_PROTOCOL => HTTP/1.1
HTTP_USER_AGENT => Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)
PHP Version: 4.0.5
