Re: CFM vs ASP

The environment variables work if I use the same CGI program as an SSI in a
non-PHP page.  If I try to get the browser information in a PHP page using
require() or the echo() method I described,  it returns "PHP 4.1.2" and
makes no attempt to do a host lookup based on the IP address.

Wacky.
