PHP http basic auth

[Brodbeck, H Ross]

The apache documentation at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/auth.html#basic says you can't, since
the user's browser caches the info for the session, at least. However,
the PHP docs differ a bit: http://us2.php.net/features.http-auth. See
Example 17-2. Apparently if you send a 401 to the browser it will clear
its cache of the authentication info. I think this is what you're trying
to do, though I have never tried it.

Quick PHP question:

I have a page doing Http basic auth w/apache. Can I force a logoff of 
the Http Auth using a PHP script?
