Environment Variables
 

How can I use the same links in a site on my home pc and on my hosted VPS just by changing an Environment Variable on each machine?

I got the answer to that question years ago but I cannot find it now.

My purpose is to test the site on my local machine and then upload it to the VPS.

I can edit Apache2 files.

Thank you for your help.

If you're using PHP, you can access environment variables using $_ENV

To set environment, use export from the command line (some shells like tcsh use setenv to set environment variable).
