if ((!isset( $PHP_AUTH_USER )) || (!isset($PHP_AUTH_PW))) {

header( 'WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Private"' );
header( 'HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized' );
echo 'Authorization Required.';
exit;

} else {

echo "You entered $PHP_AUTH_USER for a username.<BR>";
echo "You entered $PHP_AUTH_PW for a password.<BR>";

}

Using lik $PHP_AUTH_USER is old style. Instead use $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']
