Re: Unix vs PC test for server

Also - see: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.php-uname.php - it's a PHP4 function. Alternatively, you could check the $SERVER_SOFTWARE (or $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], depending on your config) variable; you'd have to parse the OS out of the returned string, though. - steve At 4:59 PM +0200 8/16/01, Alexander Wagner <wagner@globalpark.de> wrote:

Just do a phpinfo(). There should be an environment-variable you should be able to use. The safest way to retrieve them ist getenv(). getenv('SAPI') perhaps?

if (the OS is Windows) { $siteurl = "http:// www.website.com/ "; $mysqlpasswordfilelocation = " ... outsideroot.txt "; }else{ $siteurl = "http://127.0.0.1/"; $mysqlpasswordfilelocation = " ...outsideroot.txt "; }

You could also use a config-file. This way, you could run your scripts on more than two sites. regards Wagner PS: My PC is running UNIX. -- Madness takes its toll. Please have exact change.
