About the password prompt...

Anon

I am using IIS as well and my experience is that the IIS ACL's determine whether or not a user can touch the php page. If the prompt appears then the user does not have access. By setting the ACL, or security, on the file you can determine who is allowed to view the file. If that person has access then they will never see the authentication prompt.

I have a problem where IIS automatically prompts you for a user name and password when it tries to load a .php file. Even though I gave the folder open access to the world.

But if you change the extension to .htm it automatically loads the page without any user/password authentication. what is my problem? why does it want to authenticate a .php file but not a .htm file?

In my recent attempts to use IIS authentication and php I discovered that browser version has a lot to do with it. On certain versions of IE the authentication works, but on others it doesn't. We also discovered that php does not know how to react in those circumstances. I am not yet sure if there is a fix for what you describe...but I know that it is frustrating.

Any version greater than 5.0 does not work with php and IIS integrated authentication.

Have you checked your permissions for php.exe or for your ISAPI dll? If you don't have permission for these files then that could forseeably be a problem (although I'm not using NTFS on my dev machine so I can't try it out)
