Detect OS

[Anon]

Anyone know of a bulletproof way to detecting what OS the script is running on?

Thanks

if you're running apache, then you have the $SERVER_SOFTWARE predefined variable.

<?php

echo strstr($SERVER_SOFTWARE, "(");

?>

for me, the above code prints out

<tt>(Win32)</tt>

is that what you needed?

ok, so this forum formatted what i meant to say.

it outputs the following:

(Win32)
