RE: [PHP-WIN] Re: Subject: getting the OS

I can confirm that on Windows. My linux box has PHP 4.1.2. You could also check some of the other environment variables. I just compared my phpinfo() screens on my w2k box and my linux box. Looks like the solution mentioned below is the cleanest, however. Hopefully you don't need to differentiate between different Unix flavors. If so, it appears that _ENV contains quite a few valuable variables (although I cannot speak for the *BSD crowd, my linux type is in there in $_ENV['MACHTYPE'] as 'i386-slackware-linux-gnu'). -Dash -----Original Message----- From: Neil Smith [mailto:neil@fresh-toast.uklinux.net] Sent: Friday, January 03, 2003 5:24 PM To: php-windows@lists.php.net Cc: damouse@ntlworld.com Subject: [PHP-WIN] Re: Subject: getting the OS On Apache Windows 2000, PHP 4.0.5 $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["SERVER_SOFTWARE"] returns : "Apache/1.3.14 (Win32)" On Apache Linux Redhat, PHP 4.0.6 $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["SERVER_SOFTWARE"] returns : Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) (Red-Hat/Linux) blah blah b;ah So, you could easily use a regex to extract the (Win32) or (Unix) strings for your branch / test.
