Setting Variables Through Form

[alex_samanta]

How could I set the '$HTTP_AUTH_USER' and the '$HTTP_AUTH_PW' variables through a form?

HTTP_AUTH_USER? don't you mean PHP_AUTH_USER?

[alex_samanta]

Yeah, sorry. That's what I meant.

Ok. well, you cannot set these vars manually, they can only be set by using the HTTP-authenrication method:

is there a way to remove them?

or is there a problem with Netscape Navigator for Linux understanding the

HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized, header?

or I have to use a secondary variable to know wether the users are logged in or not?

thanks
