Hi all,

I've always utilized basic user authentication by including the following code in 
my protected files:

if ($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']!='name' || $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']!='password')
{
        header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"Website administration\"");
        header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorised");
        exit;
}

Now, suddenly this code won't work on WinXP on any browser, under Apache 1.3 with 
PHP 4.3.3 running as a module. The worst part is that it won't run on my ISP 
either, which runs PHP 4.3.4 on Linux machines. What really baffles me is that 
the same code snippet on my earlier websites runs perfectly. It's just the last 
one I'm making it won't run on, although I upload exactly the same file that runs 
on the others.

It sounds like something very very obvious is wrong, which makes me feel very 
very silly for not seeing it. Can it be affected by the structure of the rest of 
the website? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
