this is not what i was looking for. i'm looking for the equivalent to perl's $^X (or $EXECUTABLE_NAME for people that like to 'use English'). (this would be the '/t/php-cvs/php' from your example.) > if that is a needed feature we better implement a useful solution. > But is it really necessary? i don't expect that would be a widely-used feature, but for the specific case i've outlined (running tests using the same php binary from the run-tests.php script), it would be useful. i'm sure there are more instances in which it would be useful information. jim -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
