Hi,

as suggested by some of you, I've tried to install PHP on win32 version of
Apache (W2K workstation).The reason I wanted to test my website under
Windows, is because I develop them on Dreamweaver and UltraDev, using
Textpad extensively. In that way I don't have switch files between both
boxes using Samba or FTP. Authentication works like a charm now (seems it's
build in standard, never had to configure anything to get that part to
work). Indeed it's IIS 5.0, that's been giving problem!
So, the situation as follows :
  IIS service completely shut down (bye bye Micro$oft...)
  Apache service starting automatically (with PHP 4.0.6)
  MySQL access through PHP

and I'm off testing my website locally. The only thing I have watch out for,
are document roots and connection strings.

Thanks for the info (spared me from wasting time to get it to work under
IIS)

Tnx,

I've been trying out some stuff last night and found out some interesting
facts!
the ISAPI dll is full of access violations. Being a Delphi programmer, I
know that ain't good.
Stable is indeed the word. Sometimes IIS could find a page, most of the time
not.

And I got the header to show :) However the authentication part (in my
script) was never triggered,
due to the fact that IIS couldn't find the page anymore, if the ISAPI dll
was used. Though luck!

So, people, when using PHP authentication, please use a Linux box!!! The
windows version doesn't really work (at all).
