http auth

win98/apache1.3.9/php4 rc1

http_authentication doesn't work on my local machine. It keeps on giving me a 500 error and says it can't be displayed with the following code:

if(!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER)) {
Header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="test"");
Header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");
echo "cancel this!n";
exit;
} else {
echo "Hello $PHP_AUTH_USER.<P>";
echo "You entered $PHP_AUTH_PW as your password.<P>";
}

Is there something i need to turn on in my .conf files? I copied this code from php.net to make sure.

any help would be greately appreciated =)

PHP has to be compiled as an Apache module for http authentication to work. IIRC, PHP can not be compiled as an Apache module until RC2 under Win32.

i upgraded to rc2 and am not running php as cgi and it still does not work. It just keeps on giving me a 500 error?
