i've set up a file called track.php
it keeps log of the IP address, time, country & city of every user to my site.
i'm just wondering if there's any function available to get the username of the person on the client machine?
any help much appreciated!!

| I honnestly don't know, but I doubt such function exists.. Different OS store the machine's or user's names in different ways, and I doubt there's an universal command that fetches those informations.. You can try searching google or php.net, you never know.. ;( |

dude, if that was possible, that would a rather massive security hole
you can try portscanning, but i doubt that'll fetch you the username, unless it's very unprotected. |

would it really? like.. think about it.. it's just a username.. like, ur email address kinda displays ur username pretty obviously.. and it's generally not too hard to figure out the mail server from ur email address either!!! |

You can tell from the visitor's IP, if he doesn't use a proxy. |

maybe there is a suitable VBScript function...
VBScript can unfortunately be very dangerous when used in a html page. |
