Detect windows user in php

Dear experts,

I am designing an intranet application, and I would like to use the windows authentification on my intranet.

What are my options? Can I detect either the windows user or the current active directory user with php?

Thnx in advance :D

Please provide an explicit answer, as I have to admit I didn't fully understand following link:

so basically you are wanting the user to enter a password and a username upon reaching for example your local domain address http://10.1.2.3?

is php installed on the intranet server as an isapi module or cgi binary?

To nizsmo:
Ideally I would like to grant access, onsite or remotly without asking users to enter credentials again, based on the username detection I would do...

To v2Media:
I don't know, I will check with my admin and get back to you.
