Upon further investigation, I've found that I'm having problems with all 3 of the authentication variable: PHP_AUTH_USER, PHP_AUTH_PW and PHP_AUTH_TYPE I was under the assumption that these 3 were automatically global variables, and that if I initialized them manually in one page, they'd be available to any subsequent pages I link to. Is that thinking flawed? Is there something else I need to do to initialize these? I'm on PHP4 on an Apache server.
