I'm running Apache/2.0.52 (Unix) mod_perl/1.99_16 Perl/v5.8.5 PHP/5.0.1
under FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE #0.

I suddenly (sic) no longer have PHP_AUTH_USER, PHP_AUTH_PW, and AUTH_TYPE or
REMOTE_USER or any such variables. They do not show up in phpinfo() nor do
they work as expected programmatically.

I used to have them a few weeks ago.

I have not changed any of versionned packages shown above in months.

My Apache authentication directives taken from server-info (unchanged
AFAIcanremember) are:

<Directory "/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/pictures">
AuthType Basic
AuthName "family server"
Require valid-user
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
</Directory>


Looking around in google groups it seems some other people have had this or
a similar problem, but I saw no clear-cut indication of what prompts it.

The simple explanation is that I made some change which I thought
minor/irrelevant and I have a mental block...

If someone knows what prompts such behavior by Apache/PHP I'd be grateful to
know!

TIA
