Users, authentication, the objects, and PHP

[Micah K Yoder <LYoder@cyberis.net>]

Jason, this one's for you I guess....

After trying to get useredit.php3 updated, I was referring to the
$current_user object which doesn't seem to exist anywhere but your
examples... :-)

I assume I need to write the code to create it and put it in
functions.php3.

Trying to do that, but $PHP_AUTH_USER is not being set somehow.  I'm
having the same problem with a project at work, and I *think* if you use
Apache's HTTP authentication, it somehow blocks the auth info from PHP. 
Does anyone know a way around that?  If not, we'll need to code all
authentication in PHP (not particularly difficult, but might interfere
with Aaron's perl stuff).

Will you be on IRC much tomorrow?  This might be the last real hurdle. 
Just seems like every time I try to get something done on this (and this
has happened several times), I run into a brick wall 15 minutes into
it.  Not too good.... :-(

Anyway, I'll try to get up at a reasonable time tomorrow (before
10am...:-)) and be available all day and into the night...  I am
*really* hoping to get this done.  I'll leave IRC open ... DCC me to get
my attention.

Later....
Micah
