I could be *WAAAAAY* wrong, but I thought nobody ever bothered with Digest
Auth because, errrr.

It's not better/safer than HTTP Auth?

You might as well go with SSL if you go to that much trouble?

Not enough browsers support it?

Okay, so clearly I don't remember why I thought this.

Google for "PHP HTTP Digest Authentication" and see what turns up...

But don't be surprised if the answer is "Not supported"
