Get UserName from .htacces and change it

Anon

Hello.

I am new to php, and i would like to know if it's possible to change the login name.
For instance: logging with username winnie.
(i use apache .htaccess files.)
But i want to get my real name on the webpage: Robin de Winter.

I know how i can get the UserName:

<head> <title>Login</title> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" link="#993300" vlink="#0000FF" alink="#FF9900">

<?php getenv ("$REMOTE_USER"); ?>

<h1>Welkom <?php echo $REMOTE_USER; ?></h1>
</body>

But i don't know how to change the username.
I was thinking of something like:
winnie = Robin
bla = PHP builder
etc etc etc
and put these rules in the php file since i haven't got that many users.

(sorry for my shitty english, but i hope u get the point) 🙂

Thank you very much for the info!!

htaccess is only for logging on, not for user-data.

Instead, read some of the articles about PHP-based authentication.
That will let you use a username and password, and store the full name in a database. That is much cleaner and safer than trying to mess with the htaccess files

A forum, a FAQ, what else do you need?
