I'm looking to retrieve the ServerName field located in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf. My only issue is then calling it in PHP (echo $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];) it gives me not the server name but the ip address.

If I pull a phpinfo(); I can the server name under the Hostname:Port field under the apache2handler, so I know it's accessible somehow.

If you can not find it in $_SERVER['HTTP_SERVER_NAME'] perhaps consider that your Apache2/PHP configuration is not 'right'. – JavaRocky May 1 '10 at 3:08
But it shows up in phpinfo(), it can be found there somewhere. – Josh K May 1 '10 at 3:11

In PHP do a 

var_dump($_SERVER);

or even 

var_dump($_REQUEST);

Should help you. I have a feeling it is probably $_SERVER['HTTP_SERVER_NAME'] but do the above and it will tell you exactly

It's not in $_SERVER at all, I'll check $_REQUEST. – Josh K May 1 '10 at 3:02
Nope, nothing there either. This is similar to this other question I found but the answer is unclear. – Josh K May 1 '10 at 3:03
And you can't use HTTP_HOST? – Wizzard May 1 '10 at 3:32
In your phpinfo() output scroll downto "Apache Environment" section, is there anything in there? – Wizzard May 1 '10 at 3:34
Yeah, fixed it. Had something to do with UseConicalName or something. – Josh K May 1 '10 at 4:09
