User Authentication Details

[win-dos]

Hello,

Being new to the world of Apache/Linux I apologise if my question has been covered or there is an obvious answer, but I can’t find anything information on this topic.

Our website uses “user authentication” to permit access. However I’d like to identify a user from within my website’s code – to automatically complete form fields, etc. Is there anyway that I can return a user’s username to my website’s code?

You could integrate some sort of authentication using php sessions and mysql. That's what i usually do if i understand what u need properly
