Set $_SERVER variable when calling PHP from comman

问题:

Is it possible to pass a $_SERVER variable to a PHP script via the command line?

Specifically I am trying to set the $_SERVER['recipient'] manually so I can test email piping without setting up a mail server.

回答1:

On *nix:

$ recipient="[e-mail]" php script.php

<?php

print_r($_SERVER);

Test:

$ recipient="[e-mail]" php script.php | grep recipient

[recipient] => [e-mail]

Or, you can export it or setenv (depending on your OS), like

$ export recipient="[e-mail]"
$ setenv recipient="[e-mail]"

The answer by @sberry is correct.

...but because I came to this page looking for setting default values for the $_SERVER array, when running PHP from command line, here is my own answer. Hope it might help somebody.

empty( $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] ) && $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] = 'localhost';
empty( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ) && $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = '/';
empty( $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] ) && $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] = __DIR__;
print_r( $_SERVER );

I personally use the following.

Example: set $_SERVER['recipient] in my PHP command line.

With OS X

• Follow the instructions in https://github.com/ersiner/osx-env-sync

• Append the following line to the file '~/.bash_profile' (create it, if it does not exist)

  export recipient="[e-mail]"

With Ubuntu GNU/Linux

• Append the following line to the file '/etc/environment' (create it, if it does not exist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables)

  recipient=[e-mail]

How about setting up a dummy page called dummy.php with this contents:

<?php
    $_SERVER['recipient'] = '[e-mail]';
?>
