Re: pass variable from vbscript to php

Ok, apparently I wasn't clear enough with my explanation due to the responses I have received. I have a webserver (not on the same computer as the users) that is hosting an Intranet app. I want to obtain the username of the current person logged into the workstation that is connecting to the Intranet. From what I have read this is impossible to accomplish from the server without prompting for a username/password. I found an activeX control (called NWSess from Novell) that will provide the currently logged in user. The problem is that I need to take this variable (provided by the activeX control to a vbscript) and pass it to PHP so that it can be used. I don't typically use vbscript so I would really like to put the variable in PHP so that I can use it for other things. I hope this explains what I am trying to accomplish a little better and thank you for the responses thus far. Ashley Burhan Khalid wrote:

I have a unique problem that may be able to be solved another way, but I don't know how. What I need to do is pass a variable from a vbscript into php for use. I am using vbscript to access an activeX control on the computer that grabs the currently logged in user. This works fine, but I cannot determine how I can get that value into php so that I can use it.

If PHP is running on the same computer that the user is logged into, then you can use $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'] to get the current logged in user.
