[PHP] security of stand alone script

2002-11-24 Thread gamin 
Hi,

   Running Red Hat 7.2, PHP 4.0.6. Is there any way of knowing if a certain
PHP script was run from the command line, shell script or through the
webserver (Apache). May be i could check the user calling the script and
find out but how would i do that ?

thx in advance

gamin

There is a difference in the way argc and argv are managed - see manual.

Also (do two phpinfo() runs to check - one under Apache and one from the
command line) depending upon the web server (Apache in our cases) there are
whole sections of the 'standard output' that do not have relevance from the
command line (because there is no web server!), eg SERVER_SOFTWARE and
SERVER_SIGNATURE.

Should you figure out something better than this, please let me know too!
