Re: How to get the HTTP authenticated user name?

Thanks Daniel, I found it in $_SERVER["REMOTE_USER"] but $_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_USER"] (which you propose) gives me the same information. Regards, Georgios Daniel Brown wrote:

Hi all, I'm new to the list. I'm running on Apache 2 and I want to use the mod_auth_basic module, which authenticates the user. But I need the username to use it in my php script. How can I? Is there any php command or variable that keeps this info? I searched my browser whether a cookie is created, but unfortunately there isn't

    As Per indicated, it should be in $_SERVER.  If memory serves

correctly, it should be something like $_SERVER['AUTH_USER'] or $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'].
