NYCPHP Meetup

[D. J. Waletzky]

Just a thought, but I know Apache can log the username of the client, if
you use HTTP authentication. I know when I look at logs for parts of my
site which use Apache authentication, it does log my username in a
separate field. The relevant variable is $_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_USER"]. The
problem is that you may have to get users to authenticate themselves...
someone who has a deeper understanding of HTTP authentication should
comment here.
