Hi,

I use this program to force a user to authenticate :
if (!isset($_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_USER"])) {
header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"Intranet SDSED\"");
header("HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized");
}
Everything is ok except a detail : if the user makes a mistake (for
example, a bad password), the variable $_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_USER"] is
initialised.
So, if he wants to do again the above test, another identification won't
happen (because $_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_USER"] is already set).
I've tried :
$_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_USER"] = NULL;
without succes...

Do you have a clue ?

Thank you very much.

David.
