<?php echo $AUTH_USER; ?> Not Showing Info.

This used to work for me to display the username/domain:

<?php echo $AUTH_USER; ?>

How I get error:

Notice: Undefined variable: AUTH_USER in view.php on line 1

Is there something that is configured wrong in my php.ini or the server not allowing this information.

I am running windows 2000 with iis server.

Most likely register_globals is off, which is a good thing, so you have to access that through the $_SERVER superglobal:

<?php echo $_SERVER["AUTH_USER"]; ?>

I receive this error with that script.

Notice: Undefined index: AUTH_USER in detection.php on line 1

What is auth_user? I dont see it in the manual...

[Paul Jr]

Sorry, my bad, I didn’t read carefully enough.

$_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_USER"];

Thanks for trying, is there something set wrong with my php.ini. I get error: Notice: Undefined index: PHP_AUTH_USER in detail.php on line 1


With code:
<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_USER"]; ?>

Are you running under Apache?
From the PHP Manual on the PHP_AUTH_USER $_SEVRER superglobal property
When running under Apache as module doing HTTP authentication this variable is set to the username provided by the user.

we are running windows 2000, iis server. I know this worked before, it stopped recently. I don't what the deal is! I don't remember modifying any files on the server.
