No problem... I guess I didn't know about it since I always ran the scripts
from Redhat.
I am using a the constants PHP_OS and DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR to check and see
what os the script is running from.
I also didn't know about php_uname(), so I am using that for something in my
scripts, too.
Thank you to all who responded, the suggestions really helped!
