Alternative for $PHP_AUTH_USER

[joris]

I run a filemanager utility in PHP on our extranet.
For logging purposes I use $PHP_AUTH_USER for retreiving information from the login window (htaccess).
After our provider upgraded to PHP Version 4.3.8 this no longer works.
Is there anybody who can give me an alternative way to retreive the username of the login when using htaccess.

They've been very sensible and turned register_globals off. You should use the superglobals array $SERVER. $SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']

I've tried replacing $PHP_AUTH_USER with $SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] but still with no results......

Well why don't you try reading my post and using what I actually told you to use
$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']

OEPS!

Sorry, I changed my mistake....... but still no success.

Do a print_r on $_SERVER and see what you get.

Thanx, that helped.
I've tried what you suggested and I saw the array.
It had a variable REMOTE_USER.
I've used this variable and it worked.

Thanx again.
