Hi, how could I identify the server the script runs on? I've got a testserver on Windows and a remote system on Linux that need a couple of different settings like IP and port of db-server or folder to store logfiles. I'd like to do something like: if ( $_SERVER['some_key'] = 'my_test_box' ) {

    $db_host = '1.1.1.1';
    $db_port = 1234;

} else {

    $db_host = '2.2.2.2';
    $db_port = 4321;

} I looked into phpinfo() but haven't found anything helpful, yet. Have I overlooked something or is there another way to identify the server?

php_uname('n'); http://php.net/php_uname

folks try: $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] Cheers, Curtis
