> I think it would be a nice feature of PHP's built-in server to do something similar, automatically provide a `$_ENV[APP_ENV]` variable with a value of `development` so that the application logic knows whether it's running on a localhost development environment rather than on a production server.
Why couldn't you just do
```php
if (php_sapi_name() === 'cli-server') {
$_ENV['APP_ENV'] = 'development';
}
```
in your entry point script?
