Thanks for the idea. I have just resurrected and had another play with my
'testbench.php', running it from both
IE/Apache and in a DOS box.
It includes the following code:
-----
echo "<br>".sizeof($argv)."~Array of Args passed to script=";
while ( $element = each( $argv ) )
{echo "<br>"; echo $element[ "key" ]; echo " = "; echo $element[ "value" ]; }
echo "<br><hr>\n";
echo "<br>".sizeof($argc)."~Cmd line params passed to script=$argc";
echo "<br><hr>\n";
-----
In the browser it responds with:
-----
0~Array of Args passed to script=
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1~Cmd line params passed to script=0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----
In the DOS box it produces:
-----
<br>1~Array of Args passed to script=<br>0 = c:\data\webs\brucedev\testbench.php
<br><hr>
<br>1~Cmd line params passed to script=1<br><hr>
-----
Which is a vaguely fascinating difference, but sadly, not one that adequately
distinguishes between different
execution environments.
I'm most intrigued that my first expectation proved to be incorrect:
-----
print "check if running as CGI module: ";
if ($PHP_CGI) {print "yes";} else {print "no";}
and
$sapi_type = php_sapi_name();
if ($sapi_type == "cgi")
print "You are using CGI PHP\n";
else
print "You are using ".$sapi_type."PHP\n";
-----
produces the following results in both 'environments':
-----
check if running as CGI module: no~
and
You are using CGI PHP ~
-----
My script goes on and on, trying to work through as much of the PHPINFO() output as I
can find the means/the
manual descriptions to generate. There are substantial differences in output, eg no
Apache information is
presented to the DOS box. So the number of, ie sizeof($HTTP_ENV_VARS) also differs
markedly.
The $GLOBALS[SERVER_ADDR] suggestion intrigued me, because it returns an IP address
when a server is involved
(haven't looked this up, I assume it's the IP of the Apache server?) but when running
in the DOS box there is no
server so it returns '' (empty string) or quite possibly ( !is_set() ).
Not being at all experienced in dealing with environment variables, I was hoping for
further
clarification/inspiration.
