If your code doesn't look like this:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.http-auth.php
you did it wrong.
Replace the == test with your imap_open, but don't go re-arranging the
if/else logic or the header() order.

Subject: PHP Auth problem
> Hi all
>
> I have a rather strange problem with php auth:
>
> i want to authenticate a user through php and validate it through
> imap_open function (to access his email).
> I send WWW-Authenticate header like this:
>
> header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic Realm=\"Private\"");
>
>
> After, i check for isset($PHP_AUTH_USER) and validate it through PHP.
>
> Can anyone tell me why, for a real user (it really exists), the
> authentication simply fails and asks me again for a username and password,
> without even leaving the authenticate intrinsic routine (the script just
> keeps telling me that the auth is failed, but WITHOUT running imap_open or
> any other part of the script).
>
> Why is that?
>
> If anyone has the time and the understanding, i can post the code
> fragment.
> Thanks
