But that's server side. He asked about client side. And the answer is
there is no good way.

Sorry - knowing what's running on the client side depends on the client
telling you. And that's not reliable.

If the OP is trying to determine weather the program is running via a
internet server/browser or command line (terminal) then check this out.

Either of these two lines will tell you:

echo PHP_SAPI."\n\r";

or:

echo php_sapi_name()."\n";

....see: http://us.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.php

I guess I took it to mean he might want to provide either a browser
interface or a terminal interface based on how the program was being
run. Possibly for scripts being run on the client machine. But i see
from the rest of the thread the true meaning of his question is now evident.
