Creating a Global Server Variable

[bluejay002]

Hi to all folks,

 

Is it possible in PHP to create a global server variable just like $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"]? I was thinking of using this variable without having to access it from a database or a file which would be readily available and faster.

 

Thanks,

 

Jay

you can create variables but $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']; is part of PHP itself, I don't think your going to get a much faster response with anything. But then again you aren't being clear about what your doing or what you want? What does a database or file have to do with the $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']; ?

Thanks for the fast reply.

 

Well, I am not trying to replace or do anything with $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']. Its just that I want to create a variable that would be reusable and can be seen by any visitor, just like the one I mention above, Whoever the user is, $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] will always be available. I want to make something similar to it.

 

I was somehow avoiding database coz I don't want to be datacentric. Alternatively, I was thinking of using a flat file instead. But before that, I want to go with the option of being able to create a server variable.
