So, you want the server (PHP) to probe the client (user's) remote machine to find out the windows username?
Can't be done. First thing to remember is that PHP is server side. SOME LIMITED information is sent to the server by the browser, but I doubt this would ever be considered -- or even secure. Second thing to remember is that not every user will be on a windows machine. Some things can be achieved by client side scripts like javascript, but I honestly doubt you could do this, not would it be secure for the user.
