Determine if website matches development server url

[biggieuk]

Hi all,

 

I have a PHP snippet that determines which state the website is in. LOCAL/ TEST or LIVE:

 

if($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == '127.0.0.1') $state = 'LOCAL';
elseif(preg_match(".............<Not sure>..............", $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], $vresult)) $state = 'TEST';
else $state = 'LIVE';

 

Im struggling with the preg_match section to determine if the website is on a development server. The development servers are structured like so:

 

devXX.WEBSITE.com

 

XX - any number

WEBSITE - the website name for my dev server

 

any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

Not entirely sure on the rules of the regex you want, but try this;

 

preg_match("/[\d]+\.[\w]+\./", $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], $vresult)

You generally want direct control over the status of your website. Have some sort of SITE_STATUS constant defined in a config file, and include it.

 

If the constant ==

0 - Down for maintenance

1 - Live

2 - Test

3 - Local
