PHP get .htaccess Based User Authentication
In some cases is necessery to have the username of the user currently loged using .htaccess and .htpasswd security.
In PHP you can do that by accessing one the system / server arrays $_HTTP_SERVER_VARS , $_SERVER
<?php
echo '1.'.$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REMOTE_USER'] ;
echo '2.'.$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] ;
echo '3.'.$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] ;
?>
Note that different systems might be configured differently, so you may need to dig around a little. Use the phpinfo() function in a password protected file and then view the page (which will require logging in) and search the page for your username.
