How can I get the authenticated user name under Apache using plain HTTP authentication and PHP?

Question

First, let's get the security considerations out of the way. I'm using simple authentication under Apache for a one-off, internal use only, non-internet connected LAN, PHP web app.

How can get I the HTTP authenticated user name in PHP?

I've used this to display the username from basic authentication: $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'] — Chris Bartow

I think that you are after this

$username = $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'];
$password = $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'];
