The server variable AUTH_USER contains the windows login name. If I rememebr correctly, within IIS you need to have your website setup for windows authentication. Otherwise you will only be pull the Anonymous access name for your server. I haven't worked much on Linux, so I don't know if there is an option to use Windows Authentication or not. You can echo it out like this: <?php echo $_SERVER['AUTH_USER']; ?> Hope that helps.
