Hi there,
  I have a site which works with ASP technology. Can some one help me
how can i get the login name with which the user has logged into the
site using PHP script. I can only make links on this asp site which
can lead me to a different page where i can display the login name.
I need it only in php. I dont want it to be in ASP.
If possible can you include script for that purpose.
Thanks.

Iam using HTTP authentication.

how you are accepting the username and password.

are you using http authentication or your own page design.

Hi there,
I am a professional ASP and PHP programmer.

In ASP, if you wish to just request the username from the HTTP
authentication then you can request it like this...
<%
dim username
username = Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER")
response.write "This user logged in with the username " & username
%>
If you want to find more out about server variables, Microsoft has a
great guide here http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/iissdk/iis/servervariables.asp

However, if you want to request the HTTP authenticated username in
PHP, do it as follows
<?php
// this if statement checks to see if the user has logged in via HTTP
authentication
  if (isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) {
    echo "This user logged in with the username " . $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'];
  }
?>
You can find out more about it from phpbuilder here...
http://www.phpbuilder.com/manual/features.http-auth.php


I hope this answers your question fully.

humm ! 
still confuse with your schema, but i am writing some code here for
getting username onto a PHP page.

ok now on ASP Page you can make some link like this or in simple HTML.

==========
SOMETHING.ASP
==========

<A href="sample.php?USER=<?=user or from session variables   ?>"> SomeLink </a>

finaly in browser it will be some thing like this : sample.php?USER=deeds


in sample.php   we are going to print or do something with that username.

==========
SAMPLE.PHP
==========

<?php

$variable = $_GET['USER'];
echo $variable;

?>



this is a simple code some how, you can let me know your exact requirments.
just for info $_GET[] variable contains all the variable passed via GET Method.
