I don't believe that the system variables are available to php. I work on
*nix mostly, but I have a windows machine at home running php and I can't
access any of my system var's.

Subject: [PHP] Exec as user
> I have been looking through the docs and found no help on either finding
which user the EXEC'ed commands run as, or how to specify which user they
should run as. I tried exec, system, and passthru running a batch file that
would write %USERNAME% to a file. And all three functions wrote nothing.
They would however write "hello world". Has anybody else run into this.

> when run from a webpage it resulted in "ECHO is on."
> if I added a line "echo off" above the echo username it resulted in "ECHO
is off." again only from the webpage.
