Status: Bogus
Bug Type: Apache related
Operating System: all
PHP Version: 4.3.0-pre2
New Comment:
This problem has just caused me a big headache - a customer has been
relying on the fact that both .htaccess and PHP_AUTH_USER have been
available in parallel since at least PHP 4. They've asked me to fix
their scripts, but it would be a massive rewrite to sort out.
I only have two customers who do their own scripting, and 50% of them
are bitten by this. I think that 4.3.0 may well annoy lots of people
with this.
I can see from the documentation of bug #19251 why the change has been
made, and I understand that that the manual documents the new
behaviour, but I suspect this misbehaviour is widely relied upon, and
perhaps we should consider an php.ini switch.
The only economic solution I can suggest for my customer in the
meanwhile is for me to patch php back to its old behaviour.

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.

I agree with the previous poster that this is a serious bug. When we
upgraded to 4.3.0RC2 our development application broke.

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.

It was fixed to be like it should be since PHP 3.
