Symeon Charalabides,Hello！
I think your code is absolutely right,because I used it like that before.
I don't know what happened to it,but I could give you some suggestions:
1.Make sure if there is any error message when an error occurs.Because other
error codes will result in halting the program.
2.Make sure if the header function works fine.
That's all I can.

What do mean with "wont work"? Does the if expression
allway evaluate to false, or what?

Subject: [PHP-WIN] User authentication problem
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,
Symeon Charalabides (cosmopolite trainee)

Has anyone ever tried to imitate a browser with PHP or seen code
snippets that could help?
Scenario would be (everything via PHP):
-login to the page sending username and password and all other necessary
fields via POST
-now that the script is "logged in (session started)" we my use a search
form to search anything we need by sending POST queries to ex. search
page (search doesn't work if you are not logged in)
-save those pages (trivial part)
I am pretty sure that has to be possible with sockets and things alike.
Any help is appreciated!
