Ah, I see now.
If you're using a file upload box and submitting that form directly to your
.exe, then there's probably not much you can do.
In order to do this, I think you'll have to "intercept" the file.
When the user submits the file, it goes to a PHP script that copies it
somewhere. Then see if you can make an exec() call to the system and set the
"REMOTE_USER" variable, somehow. I'm not sure on the syntax/possibility of
that, it would depend upon your OS. Then make another exec() call to your
C++ program and send it the path the the file that was already uploaded.
Capture the output and show it to the user or do whatever you normally do.
