Question

For an application based on Zend Framework I use apaches SetEnv in .htaccess. I use this on test, staging and production servers like so:

SetEnv APPLICATION_ENVIRONMENT production

On the staging server I couldn't read this env var in PHP. However when I did a var_dump( $_ENV ) in php I got the value but the key was prepended with REDIRECT_ becoming 

REDIRECT_APPLICATION_ENVIRONMENT

Can anybody explain why this is happening, and how I can prevent this?

Was it helpful?

Solution

I'm guessing you have mod_rewrite rules in your .htaccess as well for Zend? I believe it may be mod_rewrite prepending that when it does a redirect so that the value won't be overridden by any new settings with the new URL.

OTHER TIPS

I had the same issue and it was because of was running PHP as cgi in my Apache.

After enabling mod_php, I could access to my variable without that prefix.
