Hi guys,

I was working on an old script last night, which was partly written by a friend.
It seems he used these variables:
  $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])
  $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'])

However, these variables used to be empty when running on PHP4, so I had to adapt the script a little which worked pretty fine. Moving to PHP5, I suddenly see values in these variables after performing the usual HTTP AUTH.

It now seems I have to undo my adaptions to make the script work.

Did they change anything about these variables from PHP4 to PHP5? I cannot find any good documentation on that change (as it appears to be)..

Thank you for any ideas!
Marc
