AWS OpsWorks应用层：无法从PHP应用访问环境变量

Question

I love the services AWS is offering. I'm using OpsWorks to deploy my PHP apps, but I can't access any environment variables from the PHP app, to securely connecting to the databases. Neither with getenv and not with $_SERVER.

I've found the following question about this topic: Set environment variables with AWS Opsworks, but I can't imagine this is the way to go.

Can anybody tell me how I can access those environment variables?

Answer 1

Follow the AWS doc: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/opsworks/latest/userguide/apps-environment-vars.html

In my case i just set the environment variable to db_host

getenv("db_host");
