PHP AUTH Screwed? Or is it CGI, Find out, exclusively right here.

<?
if ((!isset( $PHP_AUTH_USER )) || (!isset( $PHP_AUTH_PW ))) {
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Private"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo " you hoser, you're unauthorized" ;
} else {

echo "You entered $PHP_AUTH_USER for a username.<BR>";
echo "You entered $PHP_AUTH_PW for a password.<BR>";

}

?>

If i insert ANY value, it should accept it and display it, this was just a test. But i dont seem to pass it, Im pretty sure i dont have PHP by CGI, im running a foxserv server < http://www.foxserv.net > . But all I get from this statement is, "you hoser, you're unauthorized" . Any ideas why my PHP is wrong when i followed a specific tutorial and double checked my code and still dont get the "you entered.. stuff"

It had something to do with global variables being turned off, an di had to use
$SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] and
$SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] instead. Wow i spent the longest time on the most retarded things. But im learning and its paying off. Thanks Forum, i found the solution in here, after about 30 minutes and read enough posts to get an understanding. I thought it'd be simple enough. 😃
