getenv()

[Martoni]

Is there a variable to fetch with getenv that gives you the client host name.
I can't find it in my docs so I suppose there isn't but it would be handy to be
able to insert the "computer name" of the calling computer in some cases.
(as my dev box is "Carnelian" . I would like to do something like:
$clientdev = getenv('HOST_NA ME');

/M.

$clientdev = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];


is the preferred "new" method.. but HTTP_HOST is what you're after =)

Hostname is not available in env variables. But, this may work
