I'm currently making a desktop application in html.
Now I want to get the username of the current user of the local system.
I do this in php:-
$wand = getenv("HOMEDRIVE").getenv("HOMEPATH")
but now I want to make this in html so it does need a server.
thanks.
JavaScript runs in the context of the current HTML document, so it won't be able to determine anything about a current user unless it's in the current page or you do AJAX calls to a server-side script to get more information.
JavaScript will not be able to determine your Windows user name.
To do using AJAX:
request = $.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'form.php',
data: { }});
request.done( function(response) {
alert (response)}
})
});
On form.php Side:
<?php>
$wand = getenv("HOMEDRIVE").getenv("HOMEPATH")
echo $wand;
?>
.php file
<h1><?php echo getenv("HOMEDRIVE").getenv("HOMEPATH"); ?></h1>
Or you can declare the variable first
<?php $wand = getenv("HOMEDRIVE").getenv("HOMEPATH"); ?>
<h1><?php echo $wand; ?></h1>
.html file You can use jquery ajax
<h1 id="username"></h1>
$( "#username" ).load( "/username.php" );
username.php
<?php echo getenv("HOMEDRIVE").getenv("HOMEPATH"); ?>
