Hi

I have a php application (with mysql underneath) and I need to get the Windows username. I need the name that they logged into the machine with. The machine is either Windows 2000 or XP.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Jim

Try using getenv('username') OR $_ENV['username'].

Thanks for the reply!

That gives who the server is logged in as and not the Windows name of the person using the server. It does not matter my Windows login, I always get the name of the user on the server that the software is running under. I need the Windows login name.

Any other thoughts?

Thanks again!

Jim

Not sure how you'd go about it, but I'd start with looking at how to access Active Directory from PHP, you'd probably get some clues from that. A search on Google turns up some promising hits.
