Hi Guys,
I made 2 very simple programs that were identical to each other. They both simply display $PHP_AUTH_USER and $PHP_AUTH_PW. The difference between them is prog1.php3 has a WWW-authenticate routine at the top and prog2.php3 does not. Now when I log into prog1 with a fresh browser window, I get the login box and then it shows my login and pw as expected. I then change my url immediately to prog2.php3 and it promptly shows my login and pw just as I expect it to do.
The problem is that on SOME computers this does not happen, on my laptop for instance, I change to prog2 and get only a blank login and pw displayed. But when I change back to prog1 they are displayed again and it does not require me to re-login through the www-authenticate.
Somehow PHP is loosing the $PHP_AUTH variables on certain computers? I am going nuts with this problem.
Any help here is greatly appreciated. I can not localize the problem to any specific browser type, version or operating system. It works fine on thousands of my users computers but does not work on a few dozen. In the cases where it does NOT work, the results are identical... the PHP_AUTH variables are seemingly lost in prog2.
