Ability to use envvars in Magento config
========================================

[](#ability-to-use-envvars-in-magento-config)

**Original module:  which used $\_SERVER vars which did not work for us using HHVM.**

In our development workflow, our webservers provide environment configuration information to our applications via environment variables (i.e. MAGE\_DB\_HOST, MAGE\_DB\_USER etc). This doesn't sit well with Magento's XML based configuration approach.

This little hack allows us to use '$MAGE\_DB\_HOST' and any other environment variables in our XML configuration files.

You can also specify a default value in case the envvar is missing or empty by appending it with double pipe symbols (e.g. '$MAGE\_DB\_HOST||localhost').

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Example part of our local.xml...

```
...

                    $MAGE_DB_HOST
                    $MAGE_DB_USER
                    $MAGE_DB_PASS
                    $MAGE_DB_NAME
                    SET NAMES utf8]]>
                    mysql4]]>
                    pdo_mysql]]>

                    1
