$_SERVER['php_auth_user'] on other servers

Hi,

I got a web site which kinda relies on the $_SERVER['php_auth_user']
var. Now I got a free account at Lycos and apparently they do not have
Apache or do not have it running as a module since this var is empty.
All I want is to be able to see which user has logged in through the
..htaccess dialog. Is there any other way to find this out, even on other
web servers?

Thanks in advance, Maarten

Um...a module? A module of what? "Hey Vern! We got that Apache thing there
on our IIS?" :)

Try $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'];
