I have PHP website running on an apache 2.2 webserver which is in a Windows Network. All users log in on their computers with a network account.

If this is the case I would need to get their network account user name for the each person's login.So the login to website will be authenticated using their username

How can I get this using php???.Please help me on this

AFAIK you can't. PHP will be running on your server. Your people will be connecting through a browser. Browsers don't transmit that data. A server instance won't be created for each user. No way to send that data around.

Better to create a separate login.

But when a user logins with a username for a specific machine, then that info can be fetched using PHP right??.Is that info available in any server variable?? Any one have idea on this

Hmmm...Not sure why it didn't come out right the first time, so let me be 100% clear:


No. You can't fetch it in PHP -- it's never sent to PHP so PHP will never have access.
