Accessing enviroment variables inside functions

Hey all:

I am trying to access the enviroment variables (mainly the $REMOTE_USER one) inside a function, but it doesnt seem to be able to access it. I was wondering how I might access it in the function? Any help appreciated!

Not sure, but maybe a:

global $REMOTE_USER;

inside your function will do the trick. That'd work for any other variable defined outside of the function's scope, but I'm not sure if it applies to server variables (likely so for consistency's sake).
