    There is a pre-defined constant PHP_OS which will help, but only displays the OS that PHP was built on, not the OS it is running on.

    php_uname is what you want to discover information about the current server running your code:

    php_uname() returns a description of the operating system PHP is running on.

    Specifically,

    php_uname('s'); // Operating system name. eg. FreeBSD.
