Quick Way To Test SuPHP?

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.

If you can use phpinfo() I would create a php file with the following contents:



Then browse everything and look where it says Server API. I believe if it the value says Apache then its not running PHP using suPHP. If it says CGI then I believe it is running suPHP.

Okay I just confirmed for you on some servers I run. On a server that is running suPHP for the Server API line it says:

CGI

For a server I run that is not using suPHP it says:

Apache 2.0 Handler

I think it's possible to have it installed when PHP is installed as an Apache module too.

I've got a Ubuntu system here next to me that has PHP5 installed as an Apache2 module, in the "Loaded Modules" section of the "Apache2handler" section of phpinfo(), there is a "mod_suphp" listed, though I just now executed



so I can't tell you if it's working properly or not. The marker is there though.
