HTTP Auth problem

taveren

I have some pages (someone elses actually) that I'm trying to get running on one of my servers. He's using header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized"); to popup a dialog to ask for authentication, then checks the database.

If I remove all the checks, and just echo the variables $PHP_AUTH_USER etc, it doesn't seem to work. It just keeps popping up the dialog box. I've put the same script on a couple different machines and it works, but not on this machine. Its a Slackware 8 install with Apache 1.3.26 and PHP 4.2.3. I can't see anything obvious in the config files, but this is the only server I've tried that was installed via ApacheToolbox. Anyone have any ideas?

Here is the code in question, hopefully this will help someone help me? As I mentioned, it never seems to get to the 3 echo's below, just continually pops up the dialog window.

    // File Name: auth01.php
    // Check to see if $PHP_AUTH_USER already contains info

    if (!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER)) {

            // If empty, send header causing dialog box to appear
            header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"My Private Stuff\"");
            header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");
            echo 'Authorization Required.';
            exit;
    }

            // If not empty, display values for variables

    else {

            echo "<P>You have entered this username: $PHP_AUTH_USER<br>";
            echo "You have entered this password: $PHP_AUTH_PW<br>";
            echo "The authorization type is: $PHP_AUTH_TYPE</p>";

    }
