Sorry I have no idea about PHP. I usually use asp.net. Here is a very simple sample of the asp.net. I hope this can be a help for you.

I have tried several things,but I can't seem to get it to work. I am using php and JS.

The question is I am trying to let the "user" access the data intended for them. Example: User "Bill" logs on using a log on page and is taken to the weblayout and everything just fine. Then when "Bill" tries to access a command that creates a "Markup" using sample code I found on the internet, I want "Bill" to be able to access his markup and not everyones. In other words, I would like to change the path from:Library://Markup/ to Library://Bill/Markup/The only problem I am having is getting the username, "Bill", into the string that is sent by the code.My thought was using the $_REQUEST['USERNAME'] or something, but can't get it working. By the way, the user "Bill" is the user under the MapAdmin panel and that. Any help would be nice.
