note tye <p> I use $ENV{USERNAME} because it works on Unix and on Windows, IME. $ENV{LOGNAME} is probably the oldest one on the Unix side and so may be the most widely supported. You can even use something like $ENV{LOGNAME} || $ENV{USERNAME} || $ENV{USER} (assuming you don't let anybody have a username of "0"). </p><p> Of course, if you are worried about preventing people from pretending to be somebody else, then you shouldn't rely on an environment variable. </p> <div class="pmsig"><div class="pmsig-22609"><p align="right"> - [tye]<tt> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</tt> </p></div></div> 1004999 1004999
