Yep, I just mailed you off list before I saw your message (didn't feel I 
should be shouting "Hey, Didi's password has a space in it" to 
everyone!)

I'll play around with this, but if any one knows the answers straight 
off it would save me a lot of time.

So for plain text login I'm guessing I need to quote any password with a 
blank or maybe other non alpha numeric characters, eg

         if (preg_match("/\W/",$pass)) {
             $pass = '"'.$pass.'"';
         }

Is this also true for Digest-MD5 and CRAM-MD5, or are they OK with 
unquoted blank space in passwords?
