[phpesp-general] Getting ESP running

[Hoogerwerf, i. M.R. <M.R...@Al...>]

Dear listers,

I've been trying to get ESP up and running. I'm almost(?) there but I can't
get rid of the last error messages.

Here's my set-up:

Win2K, IIS5.0, php4.0.6, phpESP1.3RC1, mySQL3.23.29a

I've followed all the instructions in the README file. The database has been
created, a mySQL user has been created, phpESP.sql has been run succesfully
and I've edited all the pathnames to refer to my [install-root] which is
c:\esp

I tracked down the error messages to the point of 
	if($ESPCONFIG['auth_design']) {
		if(!manage_auth(
in manage.php

if I hardcode the username, password in the lines above, I succeed getting
access to the management interface. However, when I try to create my first
survey I encounter problems in C:\ESP\admin\include\tab\general.inc on line
23
without the hard-coding I receive the following message:
Incorrect User ID or Password, or your account has been disabled.
However, I've established that when I use a hardcoded version of the sql
statement that generates this message, I receive results as expected, i.e.
the user exists in the designer table, he's not disabled and not expired.
My guess is that this line is not working on my machine:
XADDSLASHES(@$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_AUTH_USER']
it seems that 'PHP_AUTH_USER' is not an entry in the HTTP_SERVER_VARS array.
However I can't find the place where this entry should have been set. When I
turn on debugging the  debugging window doesn't show this entry.

I'm afraid I'm not a PHP coder so it's hard to find the place where I should
start looking.

Hope someone can help me out.
