ipconfig should tell you your IP, maybe your name on win32."
Sorry, I'm a little confused. It sounds like you're suggesting I'm using the wrong script
to begin with? This is it:
if ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == 'your local name') {
// config options for local host
} else {
// config options for online host
}
If I understand correctly, you're suggesting I use IP address in lieu of server name - right?
I Googled for IPConfig, found this page:
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/ipconfig.mspx?mfr=true
...and followed some instructions which revealed my local IP address is 192.168.0.2 (I think).
So now I need to somehow change my PHP script so that it works with IP address, rather than
SERVER_NAME?
I think I've discovered one advantage to using server name - I would assume it's stable. It
looks like my IP address may have changed when I canceled my dial up account and went with
DSL and thence to wireless.
At any rate, thanks for the feedback. I'm getting closer - I think? :)

ipconfig should tell you your IP, maybe your name on win32. Try ifconfig
on Mac. Then nslookup {your ip} to see if it is known, otherwise your
server's 'name' is really it's IP.
