1313Environment Variables
1414---------------------

16- Symfony will grab any environment variable prefixed with ``SYMFONY__ `` and
17- set it as a parameter in the service container. Some transformations are
18- applied to the resulting parameter name:
19-
20- * ``SYMFONY__ `` prefix is removed;
21- * Parameter name is lowercased;
22- * Double underscores are replaced with a period, as a period is not
23- a valid character in an environment variable name.
24-
25- For example, if you're using Apache, environment variables can be set using the
26- `SetEnv `_ directive with the following ``VirtualHost `` configuration:
27-
28- ..code-block ::apache
29-
30- <VirtualHost *:80>
31- ServerName Symfony
32- DocumentRoot "/path/to/symfony_2_app/web"
33- DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
34- SetEnv SYMFONY__DATABASE__USER user
35- SetEnv SYMFONY__DATABASE__PASSWORD secret
36-
37- <Directory "/path/to/symfony_2_app/web">
38- AllowOverride All
39- Allow from All
40- </Directory>
41- </VirtualHost>
42-
43- For Nginx web servers, the environment variables can be set with the `fastcgi_param `_
44- directive. For example, in the configuration file where the ``fastcgi_params ``
45- file is included:
46-
47- ..code-block ::nginx
48-
49- server {
50- server_name domain.tld www.domain.tld;
51- root /var/www/project/web;
52-
53- location / {
54- try_files $uri /app.php$is_args$args;
55- }
56-
57- location ~ ^/app\.php(/|$) {
58- fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
59- fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.*)$;
60- include fastcgi_params;
61- fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $realpath_root$fastcgi_script_name;
62- fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT $realpath_root;
63- fastcgi_param SYMFONY__DATABASE__USER user;
64- fastcgi_param SYMFONY__DATABASE__PASSWORD secret;
65- internal;

73- The examples above are for an Apache and Nginx configuration. However, this
74- will work for any web server which supports the setting of environment
75- variables.
76-
77- Also, in order for your console to work (which does not use a web server),
78- you must export these as shell variables. On a Unix system, you can run
79- the following:
80-
81- ..code-block ::terminal
19+ You can reference environment variables by using special parameters named after
20+ the variables you want to use enclosed between ``env() ``. Their actual values
21+ will be resolved at runtime, so that dumped containers can be reconfigured
22+ dynamically even after being compiled.
8223
83- $ export SYMFONY__DATABASE__USER=user
84- $ export SYMFONY__DATABASE__PASSWORD=secret
85-
86- Now that you have declared an environment variable, it will be present
87- in the PHP ``$_SERVER `` global variable. Symfony then automatically sets all
88- ``$_SERVER `` variables prefixed with ``SYMFONY__ `` as parameters in the service
89- container.
90-
91- You can now reference these parameters wherever you need them.
24+ For example, if you want to use the value of the ``DATABASE_HOST `` environment
25+ variable in you service container configuration, you can reference it using
26+ ``%env(DATABASE_HOST)% `` in your configuration files:

84+
85+ Setting environment variables is generally done at the web server level or in the
86+ terminal. If you're using Apache, Nginx or just the console, you can use e.g. one
87+ of the following:

106+
107+ $ export DATABASE_USER=user
108+ $ export DATABASE_PASSWORD=secret
109+
110+ ..tip ::
111+
112+ You can also define the default value of any existing parameters using
113+ special environment variables named after their corresponding parameter
114+ prefixed with ``SYMFONY__ `` after replacing dots by double underscores
115+ (e.g. ``SYMFONY__KERNEL__CHARSET `` to set the default value of the
116+ ``kernel.charset `` parameter). These default values are resolved when
117+ compiling the service container and won't change at runtime once dumped.
