Re: [phpesp-general] Getting ESP running

[James E. F. <jf...@ac...>]

Are you using the CGI version of PHP (php.exe), or the SAPI
module (php4isapi.dll) version?

It appears that HTTP Authentication is not (fully)
supported by the CGI version of PHP for IIS. There is more
information about this in the PHP docs here:
  http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.http-auth.php

Unfortunately I do not have access to IIS servers to do any
testing on. I do all my development and testing on UNIX
(FreeBSD to be exact). Perhaps someone who uses Windows+IIS
and writes PHP code could take a look at this problem.

Marc, is there any chance you could use Apache rather than
IIS?
