Examples

Example #1 php_sapi_name() example

This example checks for the substring cgi because it may also be cgi-fcgi.

<?php
$sapi_type = php_sapi_name();
if (substr($sapi_type, 0, 3) == 'cgi') {
    echo "You are using CGI PHP\n";
} else {
    echo "You are not using CGI PHP\n";
}
?>

Notes

Note: An alternative approach

The PHP constant PHP_SAPI has the same value as php_sapi_name().

Tip

A potential gotcha

The defined SAPI may not be obvious, because for example instead of apache it may be defined as apache2handler or apache2filter.
