That won't work because $_SERVER *does* exist, even for a CLI script. (In that
case, it contains things like $_SERVER['argv'].)
In my projects, I like to test if PHP_SAPI == 'cli'. If you then need to
further differentiate based on the hostname of the system, you can use
gethostname().
<?php
$hostname = (PHP_SAPI == 'cli') ? gethostname() : $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
switch ($hostname) {
case 'production.example.com':
// something
break;
case 'development.local':
// something
break;
default:
// unknown hostname
}
?>
Actually, to simplify things, you might just be able to use gethostname() in
all cases (not just CLI).
