im just testing this on a site and while expextin it to bring up a windows prompt, it doesn't
mayb i shld use JScript
im goin to use form submitting self bt in case of others who might face this, PHP dons might paste solutions
and at least we stop focusing on irrelevant things

Here's the code:

[center]function Authenticate ($realm='secure area', $errmsg='Please enter a correct username and password') {
if (!$PHP_AUTH_PW == 'kingdomfish') {

Header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm =$realm');
Header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
die($errmsg);[/center]

nobody?

What r u trying to do? A login Module? I'm not sure why you want a Windows Prompt, however It will be pretty tricky to get a Script in PHP to give you a Javascript Prompt considering that the PHP is server side code and the JScript is client side code.

If you MUST get a prompt, I'll suggest that you redirect your form submission to a page that shows "Invalid user" when it loads. i.e. in the body tag you'll have the onload property set to a script with alert("Invalid user";

To be frank, I really don't understand what you're trying to do. Hope this will help a little bit.

segebee,

Please what are you actually trying to so
