[Solved] How to check in PHP CLI if LSWS is installed

[serpent_driver]

I want to check in PHP CLI if LSWS is used or installed, but in PHP CLI there is no environment variable about SERVER_SOFTWARE available, because in CLI the PHP build-in webserver is running.

Any Ideas?

I do see "$_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'] " variable in phpinfo page.

I believe you may need to use shell command to parse it or check LSWS installation path.

If PHP is executed in PHP CLI environment LSWS is not in use. PHP uses built-in webserver in PHP CLI but in this environment there are not all variables available.

Run php -i or php -m in PHP CLI to verify

I believe the way to detect web server is to check the litespeed process itself, not through "php-i"

You cannot see if LSWS is being used via the command line. It will only be used when using a browser with litespeed. When using via the CLI, it just uses the CLI interface no need for LiteSpeed.

If you need to check it via command line you can curl a phpinfo page and check for server_software there.

Yes, I already work on it, but more simpler. I have only to check response header for Server == LiteSpeed

For everybody who needs a solution to check in PHP CLI if LSWS is running.

$url = 'https://www.example.com';
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);
curl_exec($ch);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

$lcHeaders = [];
$trim_result = rtrim($result);
$lcData = explode("\n", $trim_result);
$lcHeaders['status:'] = $lcData[0];
array_shift($lcData);

foreach ($lcData as $lcPart) {
    $lcMiddle = explode(":", $lcPart, 2);
    if (!isset($lcMiddle[1])) {
        $lcMiddle[1] = null;
    }
    $lcHeaders[trim($lcMiddle[0])] = trim($lcMiddle[1]);
}

if (isset($lcHeaders["Server"]) && $lcHeaders["Server"] == 'LiteSpeed') {
    echo 'LiteSpeed webserver is running';
}
