take the username from abyss' access control

[sanene]

hello, i am trying to create a members section in my webpage,
and i need to learn the username to be able to dynamically create the content of the page accordingly for each member.
How can i do this? can somebody help?

hi all again, it was quick but i found the answer.
it happens to be in the $PHP_AUTH_USER variable.
Sorry bothering you..

actually, it is much easier to do usijng a Mysql database. not only that, but your little solution will not work unless the browser is displaying their personal information. this way, you will not ave to use that PHP_authingy, but a few if($auth == 1) {'s in sensitive places.

and, what i have found, you have to use very few functions. all you really have to do to your user db is add a column called |auth|, with the values admin, or user.
