Hi.

From a CLI/CGI perspective, the following code returns the full path
of the php.exe file.

		DWORD len;
		char buf[MAX_PATH];

		len = GetModuleFileName(NULL, buf, sizeof(buf));
		buf[len] = '\0';


If PHP is loaded as a module, how do you determine the filename of the
module. I'm guessing the above code would return Apache or IIS (if
using ISAPI), etc.

Is there a global property available for this (or for the above code)?

Richard.

#include "SAPI.h"

and then you will have the name in the global sapi_module struct:

sapi_module.name
