Username of currently logged on user?

Hi All,

I am trying to get the username of the currently logged on user.

- The protected directory is /admin, within which is .htaccess as follows
AuthName "mysite.co.uk - Admin"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/mysite.co.uk/httpdocs/.htpasswd
require valid-user

- In the root of my site, is the .htpasswd file, containing
username/password pairs

- When I go to /admin, I am prompted for credentials. I enter these and am
allowed in

- On /admin/index.php I have tried the following:

$authUser = $_SERVER['LOGON_USER'];
and...
$authUser = $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'];

Both return an empty string/null when printed to the page

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Simon.

Fast & simple:
print_r($_SERVER); and see for yourself.

Rik - Thanks! It was REMOTE_USER.
