Re: PHP and http auth

Ugh, no wonder why it won't work!  It never worked in the first place,
since Micah never got the user authentication to work.

I've created a "connect2.php3" which uses the mod_perl http auth method to
get the user handle (stored in $handle).  This should be usable for
everyone out there.  Please play with it (bad pun, I know) and let me
know.

I'm not going to try to figure out what Micah was trying to do with
useredit.php3- he's got a lot of logic that I have no idea for what the
purpose is; not to mention the syntax problems.  Micah should be able to
pick up from here and finish the form.

Hence, I'm going to try to figure out the lousy Apache core dump issue
again.  Worst case I compile Apache on my home system and upload the
source and do a make install.
