I'm not aware of any other names, although I have to admit i wan't aware of the sapi_name function either.. :) There aught to be a better method of detecting whether you are in cli mode or module mode. If this is the only way to determain it I would make a suggestion to the php developers to have a way to detect what mode your in. Detecting by a string value is very poor method of doing it. Ok, now after reading the docs, I see why its a string.... Some one came up with a list of names, I have no clue where he got it his reference tells me nothing. - aolserver - activescript - apache - cgi-fcgi - cgi - isapi - nsapi - phttpd - roxen - java_servlet - thttpd - pi3web - apache2filter - caudium - apache2handler - tux - webjames - cli - embed - milter Curt -- "I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure."
