Application Context Composer plugin
===================================

[](#application-context-composer-plugin)

This plugin sets some additional environment variables by patching entry files like *index.php*. In environments where FCGI variables can not be set this plugin patches a list of defined PHP files to bootstrap with the proper `putenv` calls to lete the application "think" it's running in a certain environment.

```
"extra": {
  "application-context": {
    "paths": [
      "index.php"
    ],
    "variables": {
      "APPLICATION_CONTEXT": "%env(APPLICATION_CONTEXT)%"
    }
  }
}

```

Variables that should be set and thus included in the generated snippet can be configured in *composer.json* under *extra*. Files that should be patched can also be configured here.

A snippet like the one below is added to the top each file.

```
// Prefixed by MaxServ\ComposerApplicationContext\Plugin
call_user_func(function(){
if (function_exists('getenv') !== false && function_exists('putenv') !== false){
if ('%env(APPLICATION_CONTEXT)%' !== '' && stripos('%env(APPLICATION_CONTEXT)%', '%env(') === false) {
  if (getenv('APPLICATION_CONTEXT') === false){putenv('APPLICATION_CONTEXT=%env(APPLICATION_CONTEXT)%');}
  if ($_SERVER['APPLICATION_CONTEXT'] === null){$_SERVER['APPLICATION_CONTEXT'] = '%env(APPLICATION_CONTEXT)%';}
}
}
});

```

At runtime the variable (that is possibly replaced by another script) is evaluated before invoking `getenv` and `putenv`.
