PHP script to get OS name

[sunilvadranapu]

HI,

  I'm trying to develop a PHP script that should return OS name(Linux/UNIX)  of the system on which the script is running.

 

<?php
echo "php_uname: ". php_uname("s") ."\n";
  echo "PHP_OS: ". PHP_OS ."\n";
?>

 

This script is returning host name correctly but not OS name

 

php_uname: sun102

PHP_OS: sun56    --- it shoud be UNIX

 

Can anyone help me to get this.  Thanks in advance

 

-sun

the documentation point out that if your are running and old version of UNIX then it may fall back to the operating system on which PHP was built on. I believe this could be your problem.
