PHP local or remote

[Holgerwa]

What would be an easy way to check if a PHP script is running locally on the development machine or remotely on the webserver?

I can do something like: Check for a file that only exists locally, if not found the script runs on the web server.

But maybe there is a more elegant way?

That will work.

Another thought is to check
if (strpos($http_path,'file://')===false)

I think it will always have file if run from the ide.

Ok, sounds good. Thanks for the suggestion.
