php_uname

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.2, PHP 5, PHP 7)

php_unameReturns information about the operating system PHP is running on

Descrierea

php_uname ([ string $mode = "a" ] ) : string

php_uname() returns a description of the operating system PHP is running on. This is the same string you see at the very top of the phpinfo() output. For the name of just the operating system, consider using the PHP_OS constant, but keep in mind this constant will contain the operating system PHP was built on.

On some older UNIX platforms, it may not be able to determine the current OS information in which case it will revert to displaying the OS PHP was built on. This will only happen if your uname() library call either doesn't exist or doesn't work.

There are also some related Predefined PHP constants that may come in handy, for example:

// *nix
echo DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR// /
echo PHP_SHLIB_SUFFIX;    // so
echo PATH_SEPARATOR;      // :
