Richard et al.,
You are right, the variable was not being provided for the apache
server. Essentially I found the answer here....
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/misc/FAQ-F.html#remote-user-var
The document has to be protected in order for apache create the
REMOTE_USER variable. This was an apache subtlety I didn't know about.
As soon as I protected it with an .htaccess file, it worked fine and
the user showed up in this variable.
$_SERVER['REMOTE_USER']
Thanks,
Ryan

If what you want isn't there, then the web server didn't provide it.
If the web server didn't provide it, PHP can't be blamed for not
passing it on to you, which is *ALL* PHP does here.
So what you have is a web-server configuration issue in that case.
