My API can't read env vars

oh so you arent actually using these variables during build, only after the app has started
yeye
then you dont need them in the dockerfile at all
show me your service variables
show me how your code is accessing the variables
whats this $_ENV thingy
to access the env var
doesnt php use getenv
just if u wanna mutate it i guess
nvm
try it?
but theres also $_SERVER
also try echoing all the environment vars
you know, super basic debugging stuff 🙂
...not possible
lmfao
it has to be
yeah, blame slim-php/php-fpm/composer
cant log shit there
log it somewhere else
trust me, i can't
gotta be trial and error
bruh slap a single index.php file in an /app folder and print the environment variables
yeah, thats a good option
not possible my ass
not to console atleast
prints to browser window, it dont matter
obviously dont use the real credentials for this type of testing
nope
^
.. it crashes on the first one
but i tried $_ENV
gonna try $_SERVER and getenv also
.. nothing works 
Solution
nvm. using $_SERVER worked
now u ask me why? idk
<?php print_r($_ENV); ?>hmm
I'm wondering why $_SERVER instead of $_ENV
youve mucked something up somewhere
yeah I needed a custom package to read env vars
cause php-fpm can't do it by itself it seems
kinda cringe php
it worked flawlessly
thanks @Brody
no problem, though i dont know if i helped
since i can't pay you, here is a 🌟 for you
awh thanks
gonna close this thread
