=====================================

Allow PHP constants to be defined through Heroku environment, as long as the environment key starts with FRC\_PHP\_CONST\_ prefix. The prefix gets removed when the constant is set in the PHP side. For example, an environment variable FRC\_PHP\_CONST\_PLL\_COOKIE will define the PHP constant PLL\_COOKIE within WordPress (with the value coming from the env key)

=================================

[](#wp-env-heroku-custom-php-constant)

Allow PHP constants to be defined through Heroku environment, as long as the environment key starts with FRC\_PHP\_CONST\_ prefix.

The prefix gets removed when the constant is set in the PHP side. For example, an environment variable FRC\_PHP\_CONST\_PLL\_COOKIE will define the PHP constant PLL\_COOKIE within WordPress by using the getenv function (with the value coming from the env key).

Getting it to work with PHP standalone server
---------------------------------------------

[](#getting-it-to-work-with-php-standalone-server)

This works out of the box with Heroku or Heroku local environments, but for the PHP standalone webserver it requires some tweaking in `php.ini` (for "brewed" PHP, the configuration is in `/usr/local/etc/php//php.ini`).

Make sure the `variables_order` directive is set to `EGPCS` (most likely the default is `GPCS`).
