I believe what you're looking for is: $_SERVER["REMOTE_USER"] However, it'll only work if the client is authenticated - if you allow anonymous access to the web site, the client will not be authenticated, so there's no Windows username to get (you can check the logs to find out). The details vary depending on your web server and client - IIS/IE is easiest (on Windows), but I have it working with Apache/Firefox, so it's not platform-exclusive. E-mail me directly if you're having issues with that, as it doesn't really belong on this list... -----Original Message----- From: Matt Murphy [mailto:mmurphy@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, March 21, 2006 1:09 PM To: php-windows@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Getting windows username into php/mysql That seems to grab the user that apache is running under, any idea about the client's windows username?
