AW: Getting environment variables

Hi,

thanx for your help.

So that basically means I have to get the Environment variables passed by
the WebServer with Fcgi functions and encapsulate them in a class to use
them.

The process environment I can get over the normal env() function???

Greetings 
Sebastian

Hi

In an FCGI environment, you have two sets of Environment variables, the  
first set of environment variables are those of the application runtime  
environment.  The second set are the variables passed from the WebServer  
to the fcgi application via the fcgi FCGX_Request structure.

I've included a few lines or source code from one of the own c++ classes


This gets called/passed when the fcgi request accepts.

fcgi_data::fcgi_data(FCGX_Request* request)
//#UBLK-BEG-METHOD mm:bba182b5-ed57-11d9-9d59-931a4068ecc7
{
	m_request = request;
}


This is a generic function that collects the fcgi environment variable  
 from the request.

// Method : see header file for documentation.
std::string fcgi_data::getenv(const std::string& name, FCGX_ParamArray  
envp)
//#UBLK-BEG-METHOD mm:b1198456-f3b5-11d9-8fd5-8fac2d850fff
{
	std::string result;
	char * t;

	t = FCGX_GetParam( name.c_str(), envp );

	//if result==NULL, check the environ
	if ( t )
		result = t;

	return ( result );

}

And this would be how I wrap the SERVER_NAME environment getter method.

std::string fcgi_data::get_server_name()
//#UBLK-BEG-METHOD mm:cfef73e5-ed6b-11d9-9d59-931a4068ecc7
{
	return ( getenv("SERVER_NAME", m_request->envp) ) ;

}


Kind regards

Michael Hartley
