Have a look at:

  print_r($_SERVER);

and find something that is unique (to each server) that you can use. 
$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] is usually a good candidate.

[PHP] Specifying Variable Document Path in PHP

2004-10-25 Thread Anthony Baker

Hey Folks,

My first post to this list and forgive me if this is ground that's been trod
before, but this has been bugging me for a bit.

I'm developing a site that's going to be running on a staging environment
and a production environment. Have a number of PHP includes in the
production site that specifically call the file pathname (thus):




The problem here is that the path will vary slightly depending on whether
it's the staging server or production server. I'd ideally like to set a
single global variable that can handle this so I don't have to hard-code
paths across the site (as I'm doing now).

Is there any easy way to accomplish this?


Thanks in advance,

Anthony
