Re: Shell or http?

Thanks for your answer Chris, What I want to do is find a way to check if a script is running as a cgi or not. Suppose I am running it from a unix shell (sgi) then I want the script to behave differently than when executed by a Web Server. I was wondering if there is an enviroment/php variable that can help me identify whether the script was sgi or web running. Thanks again. --georgep ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Lambert" <chris@php.net> To: "George E.
