If you look at the output of phpinfo() you'll see a whole bunch of variables that are set differently depending on the OS (eg SERVER_SOFTWARE, SystemRoot, _SERVER), although personally I would set the name of the current OS in a configuration file. Less room for error that way. To discover whether an application exists, use system() to call it and check the return value provided by the OS. I think you'll find it returns FALSE on failure. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
