"COM functions are only available for the Windows version of PHP."
In my first post, I mentioned that I am running my webserver on a Netware 6.5 server.
In light of this I am guessing that this suggestion will not work. Is this in fact the case or is there another way around this?

Ok, apparently I wasn't clear enough with my explanation due to the responses I have received.
I have a webserver (not on the same computer as the users) that is hosting an Intranet app. I want to obtain the username of the current person logged into the workstation that is connecting to the Intranet.
OK.
From what I have read this is impossible to accomplish from the server without prompting for a username/password. I found an activeX control (called NWSess from Novell) that will provide the currently logged in user.

ActiveX controls are in the COM family. If you don't know about COM then you can start by looking here: http://www.microsoft.com/com/default.mspx
Now... when you find the list of commands / variables that you will need from the ActiveX container then you can make those calls with PHP. The relevant part of the PHP manual is: http://php.net/manual/en/ref.com.php
P.S. this sounds pretty interesting. I (and probably others) would appreciate it if you would post back to the list with a [SOLVED] response that shows PHP code you used to get this working.
