Re: Sv: [phplib] occasional problem with authentication From: darcy w. christ (darcy <email protected>)

Well, that's strange.

i just looked into it. i am registering all of my auth information
(like username) so that i can use it later. It turns out that this is
causing my problem, which means that we have different problems (i
think). Anyway, i'm going to fix up my code and then i'll let the list
know if i experience this strange behaviour again.
