Yes indeed, but not a good one. Beside, it appears to be the only solution though. Someone told me to do this to solve the logout solution: You do this for the login bit: ********************* if (!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER) || $unauthorized) $realm = "myrealm_".time(); Header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"$realm\", stale=FALSE"); Header("Status: HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized"); print "<h1>401 Unauthorized</h1>Unable to authorize you. Please <a href=\"$PHP_SELF\">click here</a> to try again."; exit; } else // if they're not in the database, re-authenticate { // insert query here if username and password are not match { header("Location: ".$PHP_SELF."?unauthorized=1"); }else{ $ID = mysql_result($result,0,0); print("<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='1;url=http://yourtargetfile>"); } } ********************* And you do this for the log out bit, it won't need user to close the browser but a user would have to click on the login pop up box once in order to logout completely. ********************** Click <a href=\"login.php?unauthorized=1\">here</a> to log out."; ********************** The file login.php is basically your login file, it is to create a new realm time stamp, I think. If anyone at the list know a better solution would be good.
