Finding out authenticated users username on iis server 1

[member 141630]

Hi,
Am using Win2003/IIS6.0/PHP4.3 on my extranet server
When users connect they use BASIC authentication to gain access to the site using Microsoft domain authentication that is part of IIS.
Is there any way by use of PHP to identify the username of the client, so for example when filling in a form the username can be identified?
I know this can be done in ASP but PHP is MUCH nicer!

Look at the ouput of the $_SERVER superglobal array and see if the username is in there. I have no idea what IIS sticks in there, so go explore:

echo '<pre>';
print_r($_SERVER);
echo '</pre>';

auth_user was the system variable I was looking for - works great!
Authentication by IIS and PHP can pull the value of the logged in user! Brilliant!

Many Thanks!
