That seems to grab the user that apache is running under, any idea about
the client's windows username?

I've had no luck with $_ENV['username'] or getenv('username').
Here's a page that I put together through suggestions using an Active
X object. Name the page test.php. It requires IE so beware:
<?PHP
if (isset($_POST['username']))
{
$username = $_POST['username'];
echo "returned<br>";
echo $username;
}
else
{
echo "go";
echo "
<html>
<head>
<title>testing username script</title>
</head>
<body>
<form name='postvars' method='POST' action='test.php'
onsubmit='submitform()'>
<input type='hidden' name='username' value=''>
</form>
<script language=javascript><!--
var WshNetwork = new ActiveXObject(\"WScript.Network\");
document.postvars.username.value = WshNetwork.UserName;
document.postvars.submit();
//--></script>
</body>
</html>
";
}
?>
