Setting environment variables for accessing in PHP when using Apache

Something along the lines:

<VirtualHost hostname:80>   ...   SetEnv VARIABLE_NAME variable_value   ...</VirtualHost>

php apache ubuntu environment-variables

You can also do this in a .htaccess file assuming they are enabled on the website.

SetEnv KOHANA_ENV production

Would be all you need to add to a .htaccess to add the environment variable

php apache ubuntu environment-variables

Unbelievable, but on httpd 2.2 on centos 6.4 this works.

Export env vars in /etc/sysconfig/httpd

export mydocroot=/var/www/html

Then simply do this...

<VirtualHost *:80>  DocumentRoot ${mydocroot}</VirtualHost>

Then finally....

service httpd restart;
