Prospress Hosts Helper
======================

[](#prospress-hosts-helper)

This library provides an easy interface to identify certain known characteristics of managed WP hosts.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

This library requires **PHP 5.3+** due to the usage of namespaces.

Recognized Hosts
----------------

[](#recognized-hosts)

There are currently 4 recognized hosting environments:

1. [Pantheon](https://pantheon.io)
2. [SiteGround](https://www.siteground.com)
3. [WP Engine](https://wpengine.com)
4. All other hosts

***Note:** Prospress does not endorse any particular hosting provider.*

Autoloading
-----------

[](#autoloading)

### Composer Autoloader

[](#composer-autoloader)

Before making use of this library, you'll need to initialize [Composer](https://getcomposer.org):

```
composer install
```

Your code can then `require` the `vendor/autoloader.php` file to autoload the classes used within this library.

### Custom Autoloader

[](#custom-autoloader)

If you'd prefer not to use Composer for any reason, you can make use of a custom [PSR-4 Autoloader](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-4/). You can write your own, or use an existing one. A good option for an existing autoloader is the one implemented in [WP CLI](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/blob/master/php/WP_CLI/Autoloader.php). You will then need to register the `Prospress\Hosts` namespace with this library's `src/` directory.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To get a class implementation that provides information about the current host, you should use the `Prospress\Hosts\Helper::getHost()` method. This will provide you with a class instance based on the detected hosting environment.

There are currently 2 uses of this library:

1. Determine the script timeout of the current environment.
2. Determine whether database queries of a certain character length are killed. If they are killed, there are methods available for unhooking and re-hooking the killing functionality.

### Script Timeout

[](#script-timeout)

To get the script timeout for the current host, you can make use of the `getTimeout()` method:
