Getting value of servername in <VirtualHost>

[laredotornado]

Hi,

I'm using PHP 4.4.4 with Apache 2. How would I get the value of the
"ServerName " attribute of the "<VirtualHostdi rective in the Apache
configuration (httpd.conf) file?

I noticed that "$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']" is not the answer to this
question because we have multiple domains pointing to the same IP, and
"echo $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']" always yields a value typed in the
browser's address bar.

Thanks, - Dave

Hi, the $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] should do it...it should return
whatever is in your ServerName field, I thought... You could always
try making a test script with print_r($_SERVE R); which will just print
all of the values in the $_SERVER array, then just look through to see
if one of the keys contains the info being sought. Sorry I am not
very much help here.

Good thought, but both $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] and
$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] contained what was in the browser's address
field, which was different than what was in my <VirtualHost>
ServerName.

Thanks though, - Dave

Are you able to edit the httpd.conf file? If so, look at the
UseCanonicalNam e directive.
