Setting PHP enviromental variable while running command line script

Question

I need to run a PHP script from command line and I need to set some environmental variables. Unfortunately, following does not work:

php -dAPPLICATION_ENV=st         


        

Answer 1

Try using putenv and pass the variables through parameters

php script.php APPLICATION_ENV=staging

And in the script.php code:

for($i=1;$i
