How to read Windows loged in username with PHP/IIS
I'm work on php tool that generate Data Access layer and generate some folders and files to user but i need to know how can i get username for current windows user to generate these folders on desktop
ex:
C:\\users\\<username>\\desktop
I need to know the username.

If anyone else has this issue, I found this handy function on php.net (http://php.net/manual/en/function.get-current-user.php): get_current_user(); $username = get_current_user(); echo $username; This was the only way I was finally able to get the user's active directory username.
$_SESSION['loggedin'] = $row[$this->pass_column]; $_SESSION['userlevel'] = $row[$this->user_level]; What you have to do is add the $username to the session that is passed into the login function, like below; $_SESSION['username'] = $username; The username will now be stored in the session with the key username.
If by current windows user you mean the user running the script then that is set in an environment variable which you can get using:
<?php echo getenv("username"); ?>
If you want to get the home directory of the user running the script you should use
<?php echo getenv("HOMEDRIVE") . getenv("HOMEPATH"); ?>
This should output either C:\Users\Fred or C:\Documents and Settings\Fred depending on if you are using windows Vista/7 or windows XP.
To see all of the environment variables you can do:
<?php global $_ENV; var_dump($_ENV); ?>
