Accessing netbios details under Windows 2000

I am currently writting a PHP/MySQL employee database system that will operate over an NT-based network environment. I was hoping that I would be able to capture user network login names, perhaps from netbios, and then use this to id the indiviual user in the PHP site, i.e. automatically log them into the site based on their Windows login name. This is possible in ASP and Perl, but I would rather stick to 100% PHP, has anybody ever came across this problem before, and a possible work around?

I am working with IIS on Windows 2000.

But I don't understand exactly - how can you get Windows username from *another* machine via WEB? As far as I remember HTTP protocol itself doesn't provides thie information to server.
