Quick Way To Test SuPHP?

[azoundria]

Hi All,

So I HAVE searched Google for this, and it should be very easy.

All I want to be able to do is build a PHP file that tests if SuPHP is enabled on a server. I've searched the entirity of PHP.net for SuPHP, and so I'm sure there's no easy function there. And then I looked all over the PHPInfo configurations of servers with and without SuPHP, and no luck there.

So, does anyone know, how I can find out if a server is running with SuPHP, or not? I'd prefer a solution which doesn't involve creating a test file of 777 permissions, or a new directory with a htaccess that has PHP directives, if possible. I'd like to just upload and view a PHP script to get the answer.

Thanks for your help.

Referring to phpinfo:
"in the top section find the line 'Server API'.
If it shows 'CGI' then your account is on a server with suPHP.
If it shows 'apache' then you are NOT on a suPHP server."


or do you want a way without using a phpinfo file?

PHPInfo is fine. Thanks for responding.

What if the server says the API is 'LiteSpeed' and not CGI or Apache?

Then you run LiteSpeed instead of Apache, I think LiteSpeed runs php as (F)CGI as default.
