I need to set an environment variable in a way that a PHP script is able to access it
my system is Centos 6, 64 bits , with Apache server and PHP
Basically I'm using a third party linux library that uses xulrunner. Xulrunner is installed on a folder in the centos server.
I need to set an environment variable to indicate this tool where xulrunner is installed.
When i set that environment variable using
Export Variable=location
In the ssh
command line, it works great, perfect, and the tool executes perfect
but when I try from php it fails because its not finding the location, because obviously its not accessing that environment variable
so I need help to set an environment variable in a way that PHP script and user apache can access it
thank you
Make sure you have mod_env
enabled for Apache. Then, in your Apache configuration file, you can add this line at an appropriate location:
SetEnv VARIABLE=Location
You can then access it via $_SERVER['VARIABLE']
.
I think your problem is that the environment variable is not defined when you executes the script, try this:
1.- Edit your .bash_profile and add this line (put xulrunner
directory if you want):
export PATH_XUL=/tmp
2.- Reload console 3.- Executes this php (it should write /tmp
)
<?
echo getenv("PATH_XUL");
?>
This environment variable is declared for your user, to declare variable to all users you can add the export
directive to /etc/profile.d/xul.sh
If i don't understand your problem correctly, let me know
