Instructions
============

Configuring the Easy Environment class ------------------------------------- 1. Create a new file in the config folder, name it 'environment.php'. 2. Paste the following code in your 'environment.php' file. ```php /** * This class helps you to config your Yii application * environment. * Any comments please post a message in the forum * Enjoy it! * * @name Environment * @author Fernando Torres | Marciano Studio * @version 1.0 */ class Environment {

const DEVELOPMENT = 100;/**
* Initilizes the Environment class with the given mode
* @param constant $mode
*//**
* Sets the configuration for the choosen environment
* @param constant $mode
*//**
* Main configuration
* This is the general configuration that uses all environments
*/
private function _main() {'params'=>array(
'adminEmail'=>'admin@example.com',
'environment'=> $this->_mode
)
););
}
}// END Environment Class ``` 3. Change the configuration for each environment:
* DEVELOPMENT
* TEST```php
// Change the following paths if necessary
require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/protected/config/environment.php'); $environment = new Environment(Environment::DEVELOPMENT) ; $yii = dirname(__FILE__).'/../../framework/yii.php'; defined('YII_DEBUG') or define('YII_DEBUG',$environment->getDebug()); defined('YII_TRACE_LEVEL') or define('YII_TRACE_LEVEL', $environment->getTraceLevel()); require_once($yii); Yii::createWebApplication($environment->getConfig())->run(); ``` Changing your environment ------------------------ 5. To change the environment just you have to change the following code: ```php //For development $environment = new Environment(Environment::DEVELOPMENT); //For test $environment = new Environment(Environment::TEST); //For stage $environment = new Environment(Environment::STAGE); //For production $environment = new Environment(Environment::PRODUCTION); ``` Get your actual environment -------------------------- 6. You can check inside your application in what environment you are working with the following code: ```php // This will return the environment code number $currentEnvironment = Yii::app()->getParams()->environment; // Compare if the current environment is lower than production if($currentEnvironment < Environment::PRODUCTION){
//Your code here...
}else{
//Your code here...
}
