How to obtain username / hostname

[mucklow]

I'm a newbie to Dreamweaver but I can't seem to find how to obtain the computer's hostname and/or username that is accessing my page (I want to display it on the page). Any ideas?

For this question you will need some info from your server. If your server runs PHP (most do) then have a look at the PHP $_SERVER variables. You can find details here

I'm just using IIS. I got around the problem by having the user click a link that runs a batch file and obtains the local hostname and runs the scripts I need. Probably not the ideal solution but it gets me what I need. Thanks
