check server software

[Craig Hopson]

hi how can i check if the web server is apache, i have the crontab script which only works on apache servers so i would like something like

if($_SERVER['server_software'] == 'apache'){// do something here}

My server is apache yet if i echo "$_SERVER['server_software'];" it says its LiteSpeed which is based on apache Question:-How can i check if the web server is apache

Use print_r to print the entire $_SERVER array so you can check it, any information you can use is in there.

Is there a particular reason you need to know? There might be other ways to solve your problem.

$_SERVER[sERVER_SOFTWARE]you can use substr to get apache and to compare version too

Are you thinking about linux servers? I'm looking up "crontab" and there's hardly a mention of apache.
