Daniel0 Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 No. He just has some sort of place where users can log in, and he want THAT username to be displayed. That is easy to do, but you will need to give us some code so we can show you how to implement it.I guess that you through ActiveX could display the Windows username, but that makes problems for some users:1. People who do not use Internet Explorer2. People who do not use Windows Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/21550-can-we-access-system-name-user-namecan-anybody-help-me/#findComment-96503 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barand Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 PHP runs on the server, not on the client PC, so when it gets systems time, it is the time on the server. Also, for that reason, it cannot see the name in the start menu on your pc.Are you talking about in [b]internet[/b] application where members log in (like this board) or are you talking about a company [b]intranet[/b] where all users have logged into the network?
