Apache Access Control: Can I read the Username+PW into a script ?

When using the Apache Access Control a pop-up window appares. After entering
the username and password is there any way that my PHP-script can get hold
of that information ?

The reason is that my script needs to know which user is logged on and I
would like to avoid logging on two times.

Try the php superglobal $_SERVER array:
$_SERVER['REMOTE_USER']

Hope this helps,
