The name the remote user logged in as on the client machine, or the user the script is running under on the server? It's not really clear. get_current_user() does work under Windows. If you're trying to authenticate a user on an intranet... well, there's LDAP, or NTLM. I've seen NTLM authentication done with PHP under IIS, and there are NTML modules for Apache - http://modntlm.sourceforge.net/
