Description:
------------
my host used Linux and has PHP 4.3.1 installed (because 4.3.2 isn't compatible with phpsuexec). For a while, everything was running smoothly. I built my own site control panel that sets a cookie when you're logged in from the .htaccess so that a link appears on the main site (http://www.kobrasrealm.com) when there's something the Control Panel can do (e.g. Add/Edit Game who's Description I am currently viewing).

However, it suddenly stopped honoring $PHP_AUTH_USER and I tried $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']. I logged in and then went to a phpinfo file I made to see if I mistyped it, and it wasn't there.

I reported it to my host, and they claimed that PHP_AUTH_* is not available in CGI mode.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$auser = $PHP_AUTH_USER;
echo("You are logged in, $auser");

Expected result:
----------------
You are logged in, Kobra

Actual result:
--------------
You are logged in,
