Apache module or CGI version

How do you determine if the PHP is installed as Apache module or CGI version?:rolleyes:

Thanks!!!

If you're running the ISAPI, you'll have a line like this in your httpd.conf, if you're using Apache:
LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll

If you're running CGI, you'll have something like this:
ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"

Thanks, but how do you determine it programatically??

Went to the manual ... the function listing ... the section titled "PHP Options & Information". Looked down that and saw:

[man]php_sapi_name[/man] -- Returns the type of interface between web server and PHP

.
Looked promising, so I followed it.

php_sapi_name() returns a lowercase string which describes the type of interface between web server and PHP (Server API, SAPI). In CGI PHP, this string is "cgi", in mod_php for Apache, this string is "apache" and so on.

All in all it took less time than it did to write this post.
