Basic HTTP Authentication & PHP-FastCGI

[mike]

like PHP_AUTH_USER that Apache gives you and stuff?

you can do it purely in PHP:
http://www.php.net/features.http-auth

it would be neat if the server would pass an environment variable of
the name of the logged in user after it's done it's password check
though.
