Q: How to know whether we're in server or in script mode? A (my proposal, there may be others, and maybe even a dedicated variable?): <? if ($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT']) { echo "SERVER MODE"; } else { echo "CLI MODE"; } ?> This can be useful, for instance if you want to send by mail a web php page that is also accessible by a browser. Using this trick, you can then set a variable to make the links to the right location in all the relevant href=, src=, action= parameters (and may be other ones too: in stylesheets, javascripts...). This needs also to be done in functions from included ("require") php files if they insert such tags. That's the reason why I've declared all of them as global variables below. For instance, here is a part of "thisscript.php": <? if ($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT']) { /* nothing */ } else { $CLI_SERVERROOT= "http://www.myserver.com"; $CLI_URL_DIR=$CLI_SERVERROOT."/path/to/"; $CLI_URL_FULL=$CLI_URL_DIR."thisscript.php"; global $CLI_SERVERROOT,$CLI_URL_DIR,$CLI_URL_FULL; } ?> <link href="<? echo $GLOBALS["CLI_SERVERROOT"]; ?>/styles/nice.css" title="Nice stylesheet" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> <a href="<? echo $GLOBALS["CLI_URL_FULL"]; ?>?newparameter=543">chge param. to this script</a> <a href="<? echo $GLOBALS["CLI_URL_DIR"]; ?>page2.php">local page</a> <img src=<? echo $GLOBALS["CLI_SERVERROOT"]; ?>/icons/fax.png"> <img src=<? echo $GLOBALS["CLI_URL_DIR"]; ?>localimage.png"> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+48588 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48588&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48588&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48588&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48588&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48588&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48588&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+48588&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
