Won't "GetEnv" get the environment of the machine the script is run on? So wouldn't that end up giving you the login of the user logged into the web server, not the remote user? I just did a test and it didn't work. And I don't see my domain username anywhere in the $_ENV variable either. Here's a way to do it without calling NBTSTAT, but essentially the same method with the same flaws: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web/Web_Languages/PHP/Q_20562144.html On this site: http://vanlandw.no-ip.com/php/test2.php The PHPINFO shows a LOGON_USER but mine doesn't. How odd. Their LOGON_USER is blank, but it still shows up where it doesn't on my server. Wonder why? Anyone have any thoughts? (Maybe it's blank because it's trying to get MY username and that doesn't work across the internet? Still not sure why it shows up on their PHPINFO and not mine). Looks like "Integrated Windows Authentication" needs to be turned ON on the server in order to access these variables. Which makes sense. I need to talk to our IT guys and see if they can switch that ON for me.
