Server Variables -help needed

[tatjana]

I need to get hold of the pc name and Windows NT user name during a session, in order to log the person in an audit trail.
I have tried to use the following global variables but they do not work. $SERVER("REMOTE_HOST") and $SERVER("REMOTE_USER")
Can someone confirm these are correct and if so, that the reason they are not working is that my server has not been set up correctly i.e. does not support user authentication?
many thanks

I don't think those will be accessible to php.
The value of remote_host, or gethostbyaddr(ip) will contain the network hostname @ internet - not windows internal host name:

'REMOTE_ADDR'
The IP address from which the user is viewing the current page.

'REMOTE_HOST'
The Host name from which the user is viewing the current page. The reverse dns lookup is based off the REMOTE_ADDR of the user.

’: Your web server must be configured to create this variable. For example in Apache you'll need HostnameLookups On inside httpd.conf for it to exist. See also gethostbyaddr().

The var remote_user don't exist in the sense you are using it, but exists as 'PHP_AUTH_USER' on apache servers.
