Re: Server Information

<?php echo $SERVER_SOFTWARE ?>

phpinfo() will show a lot of the server variables available.

Subject: Server Information


| Wow it's been a while since I've posted a question.  Usually just add my
| 2 cents.  Here's a thinker for you though ( maybe )
| 
| Someone mentioned ( on this list ) sometime ago about being able to tell
| which server type a domain was sitting on.  I would like to query a
| domain, and find out what platform and OS the webserver is running.
| Furthermore, is it possible to query the same server for further
| information, such as installed modules, cgi-support, db, or anything
| else.  What all can you and can you not query for.  For those things
| that you cannot query for, it stands to reason - security/privacy (
| more-so security). Therefore, it is not necessary to begin writing a
| novel as to why you cannot query for something, only the things you can
| query for will be helpful.
| 
| Thank you to all, and hope I haven't been too long winded.
