[Anon]

hi

i'm trying to do user authentication.. this is the code..

header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Private"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
exit;

but i got server internal error saying "malfunction header from script. Bad Header=HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized: c:/php/php.exe"

In the CGI version of PHP (at least under Windows), you have to do the following to return an HTTP status code :

Header("Status: 401 Unauthorized");

Don't ask me why, I don't know. If someone has the answer, I'll be glad to hear...
