PHP_AUTH_TYPE has been documented forever yet it doesn't exist.  It's also mentioned in various places in the php4 source code but to no avail. However, the variable AUTH_TYPE does exist.

it is true, PHP_AUTH_TYPE is only set by the IIS server api
while others use AUTH_TYPE only ...

Removed. It's AUTH_TYPE in every other SAPI. (this affected only Zeus ISAPI)

Reopening as a documentation bug.

Pay more attention to the CVS commits, I fixed it also in docs..

This variable is mentioned in three places.  You modified the features.http-auth section while the incorrect variable still exists in the reserved.variables and features.safe-mode sections.  Reopening...

Philip, please learn how to use CVS (like 'cvs update') and some basic unix commands like 'grep' before you claim something like this.

I changed all the occurances of PHP_AUTH_TYPE -> AUTH_TYPE
with my commit.

Doh!  Unfortunatly I was in Windows otherwise I'd have simply checked/changed the source...  Instead, I (without much thought) searched the online manual, saw the three occurances, but noticed just the one cvs change.  Sorry, I should have known/researched better. :/  I do know unix and cvs commands though ;p
