Ave,

I¹m trying to run this very simple HTTP user authentication script:

<?php
  if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) {
    header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Private"');
    header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
    echo 'Unauthorized';
    exit;
  } else {
    
    if(($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']=="try") &&
($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']=="try")) {
    ?>

<HTML>
<HEAD></HEAD>
<BODY>
My Stuff Goes Here!
</BODY>
</HTML>

    
    <?
    }
    else {
    echo "Access Denied";
    }
  }
?>

The problem is, this script runs perfectly fine on my localhost machine at
home, however it¹s not working on my web server (purchased webhosting). When
I open this page on my web site, it does bring up the popup box asking for
Username & Password ­ the problem is, even if I type the correct user/pass,
it won¹t accept it. It keeps asking me for user/pass again and again and
finally brings up the ³Unauthorized² text on the page.

Why won¹t it allow the correct user/pass to login? I don¹t understand.

The only difference between the PHP on my localhost and the PHP on my
webhost server is that my local machine is running PHP 5 and the webhost
server is running PHP 4.4.1
