All,
I am looking for the easiest, most global way to set a couple of app-
wide constants, more or less, that would derive from Apache variables,
specifically $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'] and $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] and
that would be used throughout the app both in models and controllers.
A Configure:write method in app_controller.php seemed like it might be
the place to set like so:
Configure::write('User.Address',$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
but it looks like that method only wants text strings for the write
method and anyhow it did not work whether I tried it at top of
app_controller.php or in a beforeFilter function in
app_controller.php.
I also tried more generic means such as using PHP getenv like so:
$ipaddr = getenv('REMOTE_ADDR');
and that partly works, but I am not seeing a way to make it glovally
available. Using the form
var $ipaddr = getenv('REMOTE_ADDR');
at top of app_controller.php just does not work, but I am guessing I
am misusing that "var" construct.
Any thoughts welcome!
