Re: [Dynapi-Dev] example dynapi.util.ioelement-post.html asp / php

Cool, that's what I started to figure after thinking about it.  I'm looking
at other PHP app sources (like phpMyAdmin, the popular MySQL admin utility),
to see how they handle it.

From the main index.php, one possible way to handle this is as follows (the
example is trying to get the HTTP_HOST environment variable):

// Gets the host name
// loic1 - 2001/25/11: use the new globals arrays defined with php 4.1+
if (empty($HTTP_HOST)) {
    if (!empty($_ENV) && isset($_ENV['HTTP_HOST'])) {
        $HTTP_HOST = $_ENV['HTTP_HOST'];
    }
    else if (!empty($HTTP_ENV_VARS) && isset($HTTP_ENV_VARS['HTTP_HOST'])) {
        $HTTP_HOST = $HTTP_ENV_VARS['HTTP_HOST'];
    }
    else if (@getenv('HTTP_HOST')) {
        $HTTP_HOST = getenv('HTTP_HOST');
    }
    else {
        $HTTP_HOST = '';
    }
}

But just before this, in the same file index.php, there's a require line:

require('./libraries/grab_globals.lib.php');

And in this file there's a function definition which appears to look for
variables in the various locations and stick them into $GLOBALS.

/**
 * This library grabs the names and values of the variables sent or posted
to a
 * script in the '$HTTP_*_VARS' / $_* arrays and sets simple globals
variables
 * from them. It does the same work for the $PHP_SELF variable.
 *
 * loic1 - 2001/25/11: use the new globals arrays defined with php 4.1+
 */

I may just have to lift (i.e. borrow or use) this code, and modify it for
use in ioelmsrv.php.  Both projects are GPL, so shouldn't be a problem.
I'll just leave a credit in the source.  I'll have to think if there's any
more generalized ways of handling the version problem before implementing
anything.
