Re: pass variable from vbscript to php

Just so that I don't start working in the wrong direction, do you mean that I can get the same information from the activeX control directly from PHP rather than having to do it with vbscript? I am not much of a coder so any help porting the vbscript to PHP would be great. The code that I am using to get the information from the activeX control is: <-- <script type="text/vbscript"> for each tree in NWSess1.ConnectedTrees anyTree=tree.FullName anyUser=NWSess1.LoginName(anyTree) output=output+"Tree:"+anyTree+", userID:"+anyUser+vbcrlf next //msgbox output </script> --> I found this code on Novell's site so I didn't make this myself. In the mean time, I will look at the information that you gave me and see if I can figure it out. Thanks, Ashley Jason Barnett wrote:

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.

OK.

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.

<sarcasm>Apparently it's not impossible to do this without prompting for the username / password then eh?</sarcasm> ActiveX controls are in the COM family. If you don't know about COM then you can start by looking here: http://www.microsoft.com/com/default.mspx Now... when you find the list of commands / variables that you will need from the ActiveX container then you can make those calls with PHP. The relevant part of the PHP manual is: http://php.net/manual/en/ref.com.php P.S. this sounds pretty interesting. I (and probably others) would appreciate it if you would post back to the list with a [SOLVED] response that shows PHP code you used to get this working. -- Teach a man to fish...
