Hi to all,
thanks for your replies!!
http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/3fc6b2c82433c7de?hl=en#
PHP_SAPI const is what I was looking for and I did not know where to
find :-)

now it is working great and I can easily recognize CLI and WEB!

btw ... gethostname() was not working (using Mac OS + XAMPP) so I use
this instead php_uname('n');
http://php.net/manual/en/function.gethostname.php

Thanks
Take care
Tomas
