The Javascript idea would work, but I don't understand what is really
going on in the script.
var WshNetwork = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Network");
I guess this declares a variable, but I know nothing of ActiveX, since
it's about to be deprecated anyway, I never bothered to learn it. I am
going to assume that WScript.Network is a "superglobal" ActiveX array.
//document.write(WshNetwork.UserName);
//document.writeln(WshNetwork.UserDomain)
If these were uncommented, I am assuming they would display the
"UserName" and "UserDomain." I guess there should be a semicolon at
the end of the second line. :-P At this point though, I wouldn't want
to display this info, just assign it to a variable or cookie so i can
get at it with PHP. I suppose in this case I can always echo the JS
within PHP to get it to assign to a PHP variable. Maybe?
document.forms[0].lookupNBID.value = WshNetwork.UserName
document.forms[0].submit()
Here is where I am confused. Generally speaking, at this point, I just
want to get the username assigned to a PHP variable. But what happens
here? I guess you are naming a form element and then comparing that to
the current username upon submit, but what good is that if you do not
also authenticate the password?
I guess I'm missing the second part of my question which is to get the
username assigned to a PHP variable. How do I do this?

Eh... POST didn't work. Here's my code to try and get this to work,
but I'm sure it's way off. My first issue is that the form is not
auto-submitting unto itself.
<?PHP
if (isset($_POST['username']))
{
$username = $_POST['username'];
echo "returned<br>";
echo $username;
}
else {
echo "go";
echo "
<html>
<head>
<title>testing username script</title>
<script language=javascript><!--
var WshNetwork = new ActiveXObject(\"WScript.Network\");
document.postvars.username.value = WshNetwork.UserName;
document.postvars.submit();
//--></script>
</head>
<body>
<form name='postvars' method='POST' action='test.php' onsubmit='submitform()'>
<input type='hidden' name='username' value=''>
</form>
</body>
</html>";
}
?>

So I added onLoad to the body tag and took out value='' for my hidden
field, and it submitted, but the output was "returned". Unfortunately,
the username didn't pass and echo.
<?PHP
if (isset($_POST['username']))
{
$username = $_POST['username'];
echo "returned<br>";
echo $username;
}
else {
echo "go";
echo "
<html>
<head>
<title>testing username script</title>
<script language=javascript><!--
var WshNetwork = new ActiveXObject(\"WScript.Network\");
document.postvars.username.value = WshNetwork.UserName;
function autosubmit()
{
document.postvars.submit();
}
//--></script>
</head>
<body onLoad='autosubmit()'>
<form name='postvars' method='POST' action='test.php' onsubmit='submitform()'>
<input type='hidden' name='username'>
</form>
</body>
</html>";
}
?>

Thanks. That worked. Shows how much I know once I leave the world of
PHP and try to do other stuff.

OK... now that I've obtained the username for one project, I have
another project, but this one looks rough.
Here's the goal:
1. When the user visits the page, find the user that is logged in locally.
2. Use the info from step #1 to obtain any e-mail address(es) from the
Active Directory.
3. Pass the e-mail address(es) to PHP and send an e-mail to the
address using mail().
#3 is cake. #1 and #2 are the parts I need help with. I have tried to
do this through PHP LDAP functions and have failed miserably. Anyone
know a way I can get the info I need?
