oops. read your reply too late. Windows Apache2 might be wonky -- I know there were gripes when it was first released. Try ServerAlias:

I'd try a search through c:\program files\*apache directory* for the string "localhost" and see if you set it somewhere during installation.

No dice there, either (other than some hits in the documentation).

If I wanted to set that PHP variable, where would I set it?

don't give up yet! :)

There's got to be a way to set this up. did you try ServerAlias?

I'm not using virtual hosts at all, so I don't think it would enter into the equation.

Can I specify those php variables somewhere in the Apache Config?

Thanks again for all the time you've spent helping me on this.

Man I'm doin all your work for you :)

Here's what they said in the #apache IRC channel on freenode:

"it returns either the value of the ServerName directive, or possibly ServerAlias (of the value sent in the Host: header) if UseCanonicalName is Off"

So... try ServerAlias or set UseCanonicalName to "Off".

from httpd.conf:

UseCanonicalName: Determines how Apache constructs self-referencing
# URLs and the SERVER_NAME and SERVER_PORT variables.
# When set "Off", Apache will use the Hostname and Port supplied
# by the client. When set "On", Apache will use the value of the
# ServerName directive.
#

So depending on this var, and how you set other vars, Apache will create SERVER_NAME

They should be pulling them from ServerName and/or ServerAlias -- if you read the PHP dox (or read what I posted above) it tells you that the Web Server (Apache) provides the data for the PHP environmental variables, which are really just the CGI variables, a standardized set of system properties accessible through Apache/IIS etc.

You need to figure out why the ServerName and ServerAlias are not providing those values.

SCORE!

Setting "UseCanonicalName On" appears to have fixed it. According to the docs, it defaults to on anyway, so I don't know why it needed to be explicitly set. Anyway, it now works. Thanks ever so much to both of you!
