Hi all, Martin, I prefer comute to the dev-list , so we get perhaps other points of view. Martin Jansen wrote:

Why don't you check for the return value of php_sapi_name() instead?

'm really not sure it's an easy/correct way ... How decrypt that in the list of possible sapi_names ? On the other hand, I have to admit $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] is unsure for portability ... Could I use $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] ?

I'd suggest something like the following: <?php $html = true; if (php_sapi_name() == "cli") { $html = false; } ?> As said , I don't trust sapi_name to be stable in future ... Just starting now, if I use FC3 distributed php: it's saying: cgi Yes they only distribute the cgi. And next year a new sapi will come out: xapi ... etc ... Definitively, I'll stick on: if (isset($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'])) { $html = true; what works smoothly with both sapi and both PH4 and 5 ... or ... Give me a good reason not to do that. or some alternative we can trust in the future PHP versions.

This of course does not cover exotics such as the embed or activescript SAPIs, but it should suffice for your needs. OK, here it's just a doc/example script, so we could admit it needs to be edited.

But I need that elsewhere, and there no edit admissible, also that should run anywhere even with "exotic" SAPIs. I must say, I was/am quite surprised PHP does not furnish an easy function to do that ... Thanks for rising the question anyway. à+ -- bertrand "toggg" Gugger
