store constant variable on server via .htaccess


I would like to store the INDEX_URL constant the easiest way possible.



There is a developer site and a normal site. If there is any change on the developer site, I would like to just copy the entire files but this constant is not the same on the 2 sites.





I have made this test:




putenv("TEST=TEST");
var_dump(getenv('TEST')); //TEST

//putenv("TEST=TEST");
var_dump(getenv('TEST')); //false



It seems it does not store the value.





Alternative method:




define('__INDEX_URL__',"http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']."/index.php");

  1. You can save it as environment variable. Put this in .htaccess:

    SetEnv INDEX_URL http://example.com/index.php


    And get it in PHP:

    $indexUrl = getenv('INDEX_URL');

  2. To make switching between hosts automatically You could use SetEnvIf :

    .htaccess :

    SetEnvIf Host host\.com INDEX_URL=http://host.com/index.php
    SetEnvIf Host dev\.host\.com INDEX_URL=http://dev.host.com/index_dev.php


    PHP :

    $indexUrl = isset($_SERVER['INDEX_URL']) ? $_SERVER['INDEX_URL'] : '';

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
