Hi,
how could I identify the server the script runs on?

I've got a testserver on Windows and a remote system on Linux that need a couple of different settings like IP and port of db-server or folder to store logfiles.

I'd like to do something like:

if ( $_SERVER['some_key'] = 'my_test_box' ) {
    $db_host = '1.1.1.1';
    $db_port = 1234;
} else {
    $db_host = '2.2.2.2';
    $db_port = 4321;
}

I looked into phpinfo() but haven't found anything helpful, yet.
Have I overlooked something or is there another way to identify the server?

php_uname('n'); http://php.net/php_uname

folks  try:

 $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']

Cheers,
