I'm doing some work on a corporate server (Win2k3), and would like to know if there's any way to catch the windows login userid of the user for a session.

Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Thanks,

Rob

i believe you can't in php, but looks like it's possible in java http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=668707&messageID=3914507

on the server the username is in the $_ENV variable, i know on win 2k it is $_ENV['USERNAME'] use <?php phpinfo(); ?> or <?php print_r($_ENV); ?>

someone asked this question a few days ago, as far as i know it is not possible to get the username of a clients system (unless it is for some reason being sent through the headers or something)
