apachesetenv

How do you use SetEnv to read variables in Apache?

I want to set an env variable that has the DOC_ROOT info but nothing 

SetEnv PROJECT_BASE %{ENV:DOC_ROOT}
SetEnv LAYOUT_HOME  %{ENV:PROJECT_BASE}"/html/app/wordpress/"

and then be able to access LAYOUT_HOME in php

How can I do this?

Solution

  • Variables are accesible via :

    $_SERVER["LAYOUT_HOME"] and $_SERVER["PROJECT_BASE"] global variable.

    A simple test if to execute the next command in php

    <?php phpinfo(); ?>

    and check if the variable is present and is defined.

    If not, then may be exist some restricting in the php installation ( for example in a share ambiance - sharedhosting)
