Re: CLI Constant

Hello internals, What is the best way, from within a php script, to tell that the script is being run on the command line? I've used if(defined('STDIN')) but that seems kind of kludgey. If there is no better way, perhaps we could add constant called (SAPI_TYPE = 'CLI') or something like that to the language to facilitate this?

I think this is a good idea. A hackish way is also if (in_array($_SERVER['argv'][0], array($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],'-'), 1)) //the second one is for php -r Andrey
