getenv() question

[m31uw]

Hi,
I'm creating an online ftp app and I want to display to the client (user), when they login, the server sofware of the server they log into.

I use:
$servSoft = getenv("SERVER_SOFTWARE");

but this returns my server software. I need to display the software of the server that the user logs into through my server.

eg. I can get the system type by:
$system = ftp_systype($result);

This question is unclear to me.

Why not just

$servSoft=ftp_systype($result);

?

[m31uw]

$servSoft=ftp_systype($result);

returns the remote OS type from $result

"$result" (user defined) being the result of and ftp_connect()

getenv() dosesn't really have anything to do with the above, I just used it as an example, I should of been more clear...

I just want to extract the "SERVER_SOFTWARE" env of the ftp connection I make.
Kinda like extracting the ftp_systype()

i can do this by: getenv("SERVER_SOFTWARE");
but this returns my SERVER_SOFTWARE but, I want to get this variable from the remote server the user connects with through my web application thats lives on my server.

there is an "ftp_systype()" with a similar task........... Is there a function that returns the server type, or would i have to write my own?
