Dear all, I am eager to know how to get the environment variable REMOTE_USER of apache 2. For example, I wrote this php file, <html> <head> <title>hello</title> </head> <body> <h1> Hello, <?php echo( $_SERVER[ REMOTE_USER ] ) ?>! </h1> </body> </html> However, it just sent output like this, "Hello, !". I don't know why. Actually, php work fine with apache in my system, which can be demonstrated by phpinfo() function. So, is it necessary for me to create files like .htaccess or .htpasswd in order to make my getting REMOTE_USER right? It seems that there is no REMOTE_USER in my system. Thanks a lot! -- You will when you BELIEVE.
