Can someone explain this? Apparently some external auth systems did not populate PHP_AUTH_USER while others did... Was this BC break discussed? It has been documented forever but this behavior changed so please explain it. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-11 10:39:14] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I agree with the previous poster that this is a serious bug. When we upgraded to 4.3.0RC2 our development application broke. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-22 02:40:55] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is not bogus!! This is a genuine bug. PHP_AUTH_USER was set in 4.2.3 why has the functionality been changed without warning? This will break so many peoples scripts it is not true. This *HAS TO BE FIXED* os that it works as it did before. Please stop trying to pretend that this is not a bug. It is, and a serious one at that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-15 09:10:09] [EMAIL PROTECTED] It was fixed to be like it should be since PHP 3. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-15 03:52:04] [EMAIL PROTECTED] So I should use $_SERVER["REMOTE_USER"] if I use .htaccess and $_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_USER"] when I header the authentication? Why is this behaviour changed without notice? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-15 03:10:35] [EMAIL PROTECTED] You need to decide if you are using an external auth mechanism or http auth from php. You can't do both. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
