How to find out *another site's* server information?

    I'm trying to create a basic "what is that server running" script, where I can input an IP or domain name, and get some simple info back - such as if it's running on Apache or Windows, and what the date on the server is..etc.

    Is it possible to use an IP and something like $_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'] to detect what another server is running?

    I would start by looking at the header:

    $info = get_headers("http://forums.digitalpoint.com");
print_r($info);

    Sometimes I wonder if I'm forgetting more than I'm learning.

    Thanks! :) Works perfectly.
