How to detect mod_rewrite without apache_get_modules()?

apache, mod-rewrite, php

Solution

You could analyze the output of `phpinfo()`:

ob_start();
phpinfo(INFO_MODULES);
$contents = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
var_dump(strpos($contents, 'mod_rewrite') !== false);

Problem

Is it possible to detect `mod_rewrite` in PHP when function `apache_get_modules()` is not available?
