More specifically, HTTP_HOST returns the hostname used in the current request - this may change depending on virtual host settings and relies upon the Host: header in the request. SERVER_NAME returns the name of the machine on which php is running, and (afaik) is /not/ dependent on the virtual host used. The two values are frequently the same. --------------------------------------------------------------------- michal migurski- contact info and pgp key: sf/ca http://mike.teczno.com/contact.html -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
