Some variables have disappeared from PHP $_SERVER after upgrade

[Rapture]

Hi all!

Recently I upgraded from Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) AuthMySQL/2.20 mod_ssl/2.8.12 OpenSSL/0.9.7 PHP/4.3.0 to Apache/1.3.29 (Unix) AuthMySQL/2.20 mod_ssl/2.8.16 OpenSSL/0.9.7 PHP/4.3.4. I preserved all compiled in Apache modules in the new configuration.

Everything works perfectly, but when using .htaccess access control authenticated user's name and password are not stored in $PHP_AUTH_USER and $PHP_AUTH_PW, nor they are available somewhere in $_SERVER array. I could not find anything on how to make these variables available.

I have not changed anything in the configuration files. The only addition is that the new PHP has GD2 enabled, but i doubt that it causes the problem.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Is the newly-installed PHP running as an Apache module or as a CGI? Those variables are only available in the case of the former.

It has been compiled as Apache module.

What's the setting for register_globals in php.ini?

If it's "off" (a setting strongly recommend both by me (faq434-2999) and the PHP manual (

http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.registerglobals.php)),

then only $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] will be available.
