Tried that ($PHP_AUTH_USER) and it is also empty. On 2/24/07, dave <dave@proxy.ro> wrote:

You may be right, this may not be available, but I don't want to keep throwing a login screen in front of users for no apparent reason. Thanks, Ryan On 2/23/07, Richard Lynch <ceo@l-i-e.com> wrote:

I'm new to php and I have am running php on apache. I already have ldap authentication set up in apache would rather not create a separate system for php. What would be ideal would be to get the current authenticated user from the apache environment. At this point I'm grabbing at straws, but so far I've tried.... $ret = apache_getenv("LDAP_USER"); echo $ret; echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER']; echo $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_DIGEST']; $ret = apache_getenv('PHP_AUTH_DIGEST'); None of these work. Has anyone done this??

If the answer you are seeking isn't available in: <?php phpinfo();?> run on the page where you are trying to do this, then you probably can't get the answer you want. Running http://php.net/ldap to re-connect and re-authenticate will probably be fairly cheap, since LDAP is supposed to be pretty dang fast in the first place, and whatever caching is going on for the LDAP or OS calls behind LDAP virtually guarantees that the data you want is in RAM. -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
