Description:
------------
PHP_AUTH_DIGEST differs under Apache 1.x and 2.x

Apache 1.x:
 _SERVER["PHP_AUTH_DIGEST"]='username="user1", realm="www.realm.sk-0", qop="auth", algorithm="MD5", uri="/devel/php_auth.php", nonce="nonce", nc=00000001, cnonce="11a85ba98273fe0f5578597b1dbf3082", opaque="opaque", response="088685b1533e542920e1c47b59696b9c"';
Apache 2.x:
 _SERVER["PHP_AUTH_DIGEST"]='Digest username="cd", realm="www.realm.sk", nonce="nonce", uri="/~cb/php_auth.php", response="bedf1a35418a3712adc0aea22e94d9f2", opaque="opaque", qop=auth, nc=00000001, cnonce="082c875dcb2ca740"';

Under Apache 2.x the word "Digest " is at the begining. Under Apache 1.x is not.

Resolution:
1. strip out leading "Digest " from PHP_AUTH_DIGEST in Apache 2.x
2. or add "Digest " at the begining PHP_AUTH_DIGEST in Apache 1.x (but is redundant)
3. or the best solution is change PHP_AUTH_DIGEST to associative array (parse string and build array elements from it; similar way how cookies are parsed) :
(Otherwise this step must be always done in php script)
PHP_AUTH_DIGEST["username"]="user1";
PHP_AUTH_DIGEST["realm"]="www.realm.sk-0";
...
This is example in PHP how to convert PHP_AUTH_DIGEST string to array :
 foreach(explode(", ", $_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_DIGEST"] as $auth1) {
    list($authkey,$authvalue)=explode("=",$auth1,2);
    if (substr($authvalue,0,1)=='"' && substr($authvalue,-1,1)=='"') $authvalue=substr($authvalue,1,-1); /*strip out double quotes*/
    $auth[$authkey]=$authvalue;
 }
 /* at this point $auth array contains what we need */

Please incorporate this feature to php source code.
Thank you very much for your time and effort.
Laco.

Advertised new features should actually work.

Thank you Iliaa, for fixing bug.
It is hard work to make PHP_AUTH_DIGEST assoc.array as I propose in this report ?
