What are you trying to explain? When an environment variable does not exist, NULL 
is returned.

I found in some website say the function getenv("username") return windows login user name.

It is not necessary exposed. But check phpinfo to see it, also there is no bug in 
getenv > bogus.

I know it not a bug but I want to know how to do that. Because I develop the intranet application and I need to use window logon user name to logon in my application.

What you may need is NTLM support. It will let you use the authenticated user. 
Check out there, a couple of php libs to do it.

Thanks, 
and can you explain me about.
1. what lib which I could load in.
2. what NTLM need.
