PHP Indentifying the db

[SOL-ion]

Hi all,

Is there anyway to get a PHP script to identify what database software is being used ie mySQL, posgress etc.

Cheers

I suppose you could write a script that attempts to connect to each, and have it print the output of its attempts.

Thanks for your response. I was sort of hoping there would be a sort of automatic way of doing it. At the moment I have a static file that states what db is being used. The idea of multiple trys to connect seems unneccesary in this case.

Cheers
