Generally, no. You would need some black magic that probed the guts of
your web server for this information. And by black magic I mean some
low-level C code.

A bit of grey magic I wrote almost exactly 9 years ago now! (May 1,
1996) in the form of Apache's mod_info module might help you out a
little bit. If you define all your vhosts in your httpd.conf file and
not in included files, then you can enable mod_info in your Apache
config, and restrict access to the information to localhost with
something like:

<Location /server-info>
SetHandler server-info
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Location>

Then your PHP code would hit your server's local /server-info link and
parse it with something along the lines of:

$info = file_get_contents('http://localhost/server-info?http_core.c');
preg_match_all('/.*servername <.*?>(\S+?)<.*/i',$info,$reg);
$vhosts = $reg[1];

You may need to doublecheck that regex. I didn't actually test it.
