Cool, that's what I started to figure after thinking about it. I'm looking
at other PHP app sources (like phpMyAdmin, the popular MySQL admin utility),
to see how they handle it.
>From the main index.php, one possible way to handle this is as follows (the
example is trying to get the HTTP_HOST environment variable):
// Gets the host name
// loic1 - 2001/25/11: use the new globals arrays defined with php 4.1+
if (empty($HTTP_HOST)) {
if (!empty($_ENV) && isset($_ENV['HTTP_HOST'])) {
$HTTP_HOST = $_ENV['HTTP_HOST'];
}
else if (!empty($HTTP_ENV_VARS) && isset($HTTP_ENV_VARS['HTTP_HOST'])) {
$HTTP_HOST = $HTTP_ENV_VARS['HTTP_HOST'];
}
else if (@getenv('HTTP_HOST')) {
$HTTP_HOST = getenv('HTTP_HOST');
}
else {
$HTTP_HOST = '';
}
}
But just before this, in the same file index.php, there's a require line:
require('./libraries/grab_globals.lib.php');
And in this file there's a function definition which appears to look for
variables in the various locations and stick them into $GLOBALS.
/**
* This library grabs the names and values of the variables sent or posted
to a
* script in the '$HTTP_*_VARS' / $_* arrays and sets simple globals
variables
* from them. It does the same work for the $PHP_SELF variable.
*
* loic1 - 2001/25/11: use the new globals arrays defined with php 4.1+
*/
I may just have to lift (i.e. borrow or use) this code, and modify it for
use in ioelmsrv.php. Both projects are GPL, so shouldn't be a problem.
I'll just leave a credit in the source. I'll have to think if there's any
more generalized ways of handling the version problem before implementing
anything.
