Note that PHP won't tell you that it reverted to displaying platform it was built on.
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.2, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
php_uname — Returns information about the operating system PHP is running on
php_uname() returns a description of the operating
system PHP is running on. This is the same string you see at the very
top of the phpinfo() output. For the name of just
the operating system, consider using the PHP_OS
constant, but keep in mind this constant will contain the operating
system PHP was built on.
On some older UNIX platforms, it may not be able to determine the current OS information in which case it will revert to displaying the OS PHP was built on. This will only happen if your uname() library call either doesn't exist or doesn't work.
mode
mode is a single character that defines what
information is returned:
'a': This is the default. Returns the same
information as the individual modes
's', 'n', 'r', 'v', 'm'
separated by spaces.
's': Operating system name. eg.
FreeBSD.
'n': Host name. eg.
localhost.example.com.
'r': Release name. eg.
5.1.2-RELEASE.
'v': Version information. Varies a lot between
operating systems.
'm': Machine type. eg. i386.
Returns the description, as a string.
| Version | Beschreibung |
|---|---|
| 8.4.0 |
Throws a ValueError when an invalid
mode is specified.

<?php
echo php_uname();
echo PHP_OS;

if (strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS, 0, 3)) === 'WIN') {
echo 'This is a server using Windows!';
} else {
echo 'This is a server not using Windows!';
}
?>There are also some related Predefined PHP constants that may come in handy, for example:
Beispiel #2 A few OS related constant examples
<?php
// *nix
echo DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR; // /
echo PHP_SHLIB_SUFFIX; // so
echo PATH_SEPARATOR; // :
// Win*
echo DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR; // \
echo PHP_SHLIB_SUFFIX; // dll
echo PATH_SEPARATOR; // ;
?>
