PHP - IIS environment: capture login ID

[jwm_Az]

Greetings --
I am working on a rather simple project and am new to PHP;
I've posted once before and had wonderful replies . . .

The simple question: can I capture the current login ID (NT)
of a user accessing a webpage, then store that into a variable which I can then pass to a .php processing page?

This would be HUGELY helpful.

Notes which I believe may be relevant:
1. web host enviromnent is IIS on MS Server 2003
2. no database store being employed at this time

I need a quick solution. For the longer term: would
this be significantly easier using a DB backend such
as MySQL or even VPM?

THANKS in advance

You cannot access system information of someone accessing your website...

What do you need there login ID for?
As there may be some other way you can get the sort of information you are after i.e. if you want to be able to track an individual user there there are way for doing that.
So it depends on why you need that information, as there may be another method of doing something similar.
