I am not much of a coder so any help porting the vbscript to PHP would be great. The code that I am using to get the information from the activeX control is:
<--
<script type="text/vbscript">
for each tree in NWSess1.ConnectedTrees
anyTree=tree.FullName
anyUser=NWSess1.LoginName(anyTree)
output=output+"Tree:"+anyTree+", userID:"+anyUser+vbcrlf
next
//msgbox output
</script>
-->
I found this code on Novell's site so I didn't make this myself.
In the mean time, I will look at the information that you gave me and see if I can figure it out.
Thanks, Ashley

Ok, apparently I wasn't clear enough with my explanation due to the responses I have received.
I have a webserver (not on the same computer as the users) that is hosting an Intranet app. I want to obtain the username of the current person logged into the workstation that is connecting to the Intranet.
OK.
From what I have read this is impossible to accomplish from the server without prompting for a username/password. I found an activeX control (called NWSess from Novell) that will provide the currently logged in user.

ActiveX controls are in the COM family. If you don't know about COM then you can start by looking here: http://www.microsoft.com/com/default.mspx
Now... when you find the list of commands / variables that you will need from the ActiveX container then you can make those calls with PHP. The relevant part of the PHP manual is: http://php.net/manual/en/ref.com.php
P.S. this sounds pretty interesting. I (and probably others) would appreciate it if you would post back to the list with a [SOLVED] response that shows PHP code you used to get this working.
