yes, it seems to find the user and password, but returns to the
prompts. I expect   @session_start(); does not do it.
I assume the script reinitialises the session with the new
authenticated user, so should not go back to the password prompts?

my debug was

function AuthenticateUser($authid) {
  $GLOBALS['AuthId'] = $authid;
  @session_start();
  $_SESSION['authid'] = $authid;
  echo $_SESSION['authid'];
}

and $_SESSION['authid'] gets echoed correctly.

Best,
