How can I get the logged in username?

Question

Im working on a page, that contains, the modifications of a database ( have a webpage, where you can modify the database and this is a history database of the modifications which contains when, what have been modified). On this page/ in this database I have to store that who modified it. And my quetion is that how can I get the windows user name. Im working on apache server mysql db and in php and i have to get only windows users.

Normal webpage or company intranet? In other words is there an active directory you could use? — hYg-Cain, Aug 11 '16 at 07:53
If you have active directory then you should be able to use ldap queries to get whatever information you want from AD — Professor Abronsius, Aug 11 '16 at 08:05

I dont really have code about this, I tried sg, but it doesnt really work — Daniel, Aug 11 '16 at 08:08
I didnt really config mod_auth_sspi, but in th httpd.conf file I found a mod_authz_user without #. It should show me $_Server["PHP_AUTH_USER"] or sgh like this? — Daniel, Aug 11 '16 at 08:53
It depends at a minimum on how PHP and Apache are configured, and what sort of authentication you're using. — Harry Johnston, Aug 12 '16 at 01:49

I tried this on my laptop:

cmd> php -r "exec('echo %username%', $output); var_dump($output);"
array(1) {
  [0] =>
  string(7) "jigar.d"
}

And if you want username along with computer name:

cmd> php -r "exec('echo %username%@%computername%', $output); var_dump($output);"
array(1) {
  [0] =>
  string(20) "jigar.d@****JIGARD"
}

Not sure if this is what you are looking for.

For authentication of intranet PHP based applications we use PHP LDAP to connect and authenticate users.

Note: My laptop is on AD as well. I have * my actual computername.
