Hello Terri,
don't know your platform, web server software, if you have perl installed.
If you have it installed, th following simple script might answer your question

#!/usr/bin/perl
# case 1: Program runs via apache, webbrowser is client: show alls variables for the hash %ENV
# case 2: Program runs simply via command line, shows all settings for the user
# (like SET command)
print "Content-type: text/html", "\n\n";

print <<end;
<html>
<head>

</head>
<body>
<h1>Environment variables of  Apache-Servers</h1>
<ul>

end

    foreach $key (sort keys(%ENV))	{
	print "<li>$key: $ENV{$key}</li>\n";

}

print <<end_all;

</ul>
</body>
</html>

end_all

exit(0);

Feel free to drop me a line if you have questions baout the script. Manuela Mueller
