Http Authentication

[Anon]

Hello all,

Quick question. Im running Apache/MySql/PHP4 on 98se. All works great. Problem is Apache gives me a 500 error (INternal server error) when trying to use authenticate: basic realm.

code is below.

       Header("WWW-authenticate: basic realm= \"Restricted Area\""); 
       Header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized"); 
      // $title="Login Instructions"; 

Is there a switch I need to config? why when I comment this out is it fine?

thanks

Jim

I have done this in the past.

if (!isset($REMOTE_USER)) {
header("Status: 401 unauthorized");
}

I never told it specifically to use basic auth or a realm...
