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...

That seems to grab the user that apache is running under, any idea about the
client's windows username?

I just tried my JS/ActiveX/PHP script on a PHP5 server using the ISAPI
module in IIS and it didn't work at all. Works fine under my PHP4
server using the CGI module. I don't understand what the difference
would be, but maybe someone could fill me in. Until further notice, I
retract my code because it doesn't work consistently on all PHP
servers.

The $_SERVER["REMOTE_USER"] method works ok, but returns the old Win
2000 style DOMAIN\username, rather than the new Windows 2003
[EMAIL PROTECTED] I would be interested to see how this formatting
would fare when used to log in to a Windows 2003 server via the LDAP
functions.

 Hmm... I'm guessing you could take that variable, do an explode on the
\ and add the @domain.ext, that is if you know the extension. That
should work for my purposes at least. 

Thanks,

Matt

Platform: WinXP Pro
Tools: VS7 CL Compiler & MS SDK Win2k Build Environment
Version: 5.1.2 from CVS

I get the same result with both compilers. When I try to configure the build, it throws this error:

Enabling extension ext\tokenizer
C:\work\php-src\configure.js(993, 3) Microsoft JScript runtime error: 'PHP_UNICODE_SHARED' is undefined

config command: cscript /nologo configure.js --enable-snapshot-build

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Mike Milano
