PHP and IIS : What is the username provided ?

Hi there,

I'm fairly new to this PHP-thing while having done loads of ASP. I'm currently creating an intranet website using PHP and I don't know how to retrieve the username provided by the IIS authentication ?

$_Server["PHP_AUTH_USER"] doesn't seem to work and I need this information to retrieve information about the people who logged on.

Thanks in advance,

post your code

$UserName = $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'];

But remember this is running under IIS...

The login name with be stored in $AUTH_USER or $_SERVER[AUTH_USER] with $AUTH_TYPE or $_SERVER[AUTH_TYPE] containing the authentication type e.g. NTLM


NTLM authentication is possible with PHP assuming A) you run it on a NT/2000/.NET box, B) IIS is used.
