Hi!! I need to fetch the Windows variable %username% into the php page that i'm making for my work. The reason is that the users shall be directed automatically into the right page for their department. How do i do this?? Check whether you can see the lavue in the environment variables(try <?PHP echo "<PRE>"; print_r($GLOBALS); ?> ) In my version, my windows login name was not available. if it does not work you could try and see if you can make an inbetween page with a javascript to read that variable. make sure the user gets a warning when it does not work, so you are prepared for security measures that prevent you from reading this.
