What i have is a htaccess file that calls an outside DB and i want to know is there a way to tell the htaccess file not to hit the DB is $PHP_AUTH_USER is set.. Now we have about 50 pages and i don't want to edit them all.. I should mention that the reason it keeps making the db call is we have it set as an AuthExternal radiuslookup this is what i need to stop after the 1st page Thanks for any light on the subject Alan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
