overwrite PHP_AUTH_USER

Anon

Hi!

OK: no unsetting PHP_AUTH_USER. But can it be set to different value WITHOUT asking user to authenticate again. Here's the story: I want to logoff a particualr user, but I can't do that by unsetting PHP_AUTH_USER variable. So, next idea is to set variable to some other (dummy) value upon user leaving the site (or clicking logoff buton) but WITHOUT any promts for entering username and password. If the user returns to site, he would be asked for usr/pwd again because his usr/pwd has been reset to dummy usr/pwd.

Can you help me?!
Bye!

Cookies are often used for this. You can generate an encrypted cookie when the user logs in. The presence of the cookie indicates a valid session. Your pages should (at least from time to time) check validity of the cookie. When the user logs out, clear the cookie...

Huh,
sever does not support cookies very well. I've already thought of that. So no cookies. What's left? I know - to cry.
