News updating php doesn't work anymore...

I have a news updating php thing that has been working fine, but now I've got the following problem on my error log...

[Sat Dec 21 18:41:16 2002] [error] [client 62.***.**.**] malformed header from script. Bad header=HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized: /domains/c/u/****.org.uk/public_html/adminnews.php

I uploaded the page in July and it was still working in November, but now its not - any ideas?

Thanks

Did you upload in ASCII mode to your web site? If you are using a different FTP program the file transfer type for specific extensions (.php, .csv, .doc, etc.) may need to be configured.

Did your web host recently upgrade their version of PHP?

Thanks for your help - it seems my webhost has either changed php or changed their security... here's a section of their message:

'You will need to change the authentication type as php scripts cannot use php authentication via the $PHP_AUTH_USER variable any more you will have to use basic HTTP authentication or cookies, doing that should get it working.'

Nice of them to tell me first....
