I've downloaded "PHP User Authentication Extension" from www.felixone.it but I cannot make it work, it keeps complaining about PHP_SELF which as I understand is global declaration which is a security risk and most server admins disable that option, so my question is does anyone know any work around that will make this extension work.

Thanks is advance<img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

I had the same problem so i checked what version of PHP i was using and found that it was the new PHP 4.2.3, so i tried using an older version of PHP (4.1.2) and the PHP User Authentication Extensions all worked fine.

I think the reason is that the newer versions of PHP have changed some of the function names like $HTTP_POST_VARS etc which is causing these errors. I can't imagine it will take to long before someone makes an updated version. I hope to get some of our more serious hand coders to take a look so i will post details here if we have any success.

Hope this helps
