I have a PHP script on a webserver.
This file is invoked via the shell by another program but it could still be run by the webserver in response to an HTTP request.
How can the script determine the way it was invoked?

There are lots of ways; I check if
$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']is empty. I think the technically correct way is to see ifphp_sapi_name()returnscli
