Question

I have a plain(no framework) php app. I want to deploy my app to PhpFog.
The problem is the config(host,dbname) is different.

How to create a db config for development and production environment?

Answer 1

You could use environment variables to do this. PHPFog provides a way to set environment variables in the App Console > Env. Variables tab for your app.

Simply create all the environment variables that you need on both your local machine and on the App Console:

Example:

Local Machine: Edit your .bash_profile

APP_HOST=localhost
APP_DATABASE=mydatabase

PHPfog App Console:

APP_HOST=production.mysqlserver.com
APP_DATABASE=proddatabase

Then access them from your php app:

$db_host = getenv("APP_HOST");
$db_name = getenv("APP_DATABASE");
