I tried to authenticate via PHP. It worked with PHP3.
After tracing back and forth, I found that the global
variable PHP_AUTH_PW is not set or empty.
HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_AUTH_PW"] still contains the
right value.

I do not write to that variable (I checked with grep...)

See http://www-usercgi.tu-chemnitz.de/~tisc/authtest.php3 
for a demonstration.

HTH! Tino.

Sound like you don't have register_globals turned on in your php.ini.

The, why is PHP_AUTH_USER set at all?

Update: register_globals is turned on.
(see
http://www-usercgi.tu-chemnitz.de/~tisc/authtest.php3
for output of phpinfo() after authentication.)

I figured out that our webmaster took special care
for passwords - we have AFS here and AFS passwords are
often used to authenticate Web stuff.

Therefore he somehow deletes PHO_AUTH_PW before my script
gets executed.

Sorry for the wrong bug - the real bug is that I need to
be able to tell PHP not to reveal passwords already used
by Apache for some kind of authentication.

(This is bug #8827).
