I made mistakbe on the version of PHP that came with Zend Server CE. 
It is PHP Version 5.2.10.

Question:  Is there any way to update only PHP version within Zend
Server Community Edition?

Thanks.

Please try using this snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php5.3-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:

There is no PHP 5.3.1 released, check your version..

Description:
------------
$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] does not pass the parameter to header.  This
same problem was reported and was supposed to be fixed on version PHP
5.0. Now, it happens again with Zend Server CE (PHP 5.3.1).

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) {
    header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My Realm"');
    header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
    echo 'Text to send if user hits Cancel button';
    exit;
} else {
    echo "<p>Hello {$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']}.</p>";
    echo "<p>You entered {$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']} as your
password.</p>";
}
?> 

Expected result:
----------------
After entering username and password, the username and password will be
displayed on the web page.

Actual result:
--------------
In IE, the authentication window will ask 3 times for username and
password.  Then, it closes, and displays "Text to send if user hits
Cancel button."  In Firefox, it keeps asking for the username and
pssword.
