tim_perrett Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Hey chaps Is there a way to dynamically work out what platform your on? As I have a function that I either need to pass '/' for *nix systems, and '\\' for win32 boxes yet there doesnt seem to be an easy way to do this? Any suggestions people?

Daniel0 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 You can use php_uname('s'); to determine the server OS. Note that there is a built in constant called DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR which contains the directory separator for the server OS (i.e. \ for Windows and / for Unix).

dbo Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I've always coded under the assumption that it would be deployed on *nix. Making sure that I consider everything case sensitive and using *nix paths (/). Windows seems to understand the forward slash just fine in my experience.
