I wrote a script using HTTP authentication and it worked perfectly on my windows system. But when I tried to install it on my "real" webserver (Apache on Sun Solaris), the server administrator told me, that PHP is running in CGI mode. So I cannot use the example from the PHP manual. I also tried the some examples using getenv(), which I have found on this page, but it returned an empty string for the Authorisation-variable.
So my question is: Is there any possibility to bypass this problem? Any way to use HTTP authentication in CGI mode on Apache...
I would be grateful for any solution.
