Question
First, let's get the security considerations out of the way. I'm using simple authentication under Apache for a one-off, internal use only, non-internet connected LAN, PHP web app.
How can get I the HTTP authenticated user name in PHP?
Solution
I think that you are after this
$username = $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'];
$password = $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'];
