Alas, none of these will work--I checked with phpinfo() and the variable
I am looking for is not there. It can get information from the server,
but not the client. I don't think there is a way to do this with
PHP...darn it. Thanks though.

I haven't tried this but suspect you'd get some mileage trying
$_SERVER['AUTH_USER'] and $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER']
in PHP 4.1.0 or later or
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['AUTH_USER'] and
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REMOTE_USER']
prior to PHP 4.1.0
