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.
