What's the difference between the .env file and App.php? - philio - 09-13-2020
So I'm trying to learn CI 4 and I have a question.
In the .env file there are these settings:
Code:
# app.CSRFProtection = false
# app.CSRFTokenName = 'csrf_test_name'
# app.CSRFCookieName = 'csrf_cookie_name'
# app.CSRFExpire = 7200
# app.CSRFRegenerate = true
# app.CSRFExcludeURIs = []And in Config/App.php there are these:
Code:
public $CSRFTokenName = 'csrf_test_name';
public $CSRFHeaderName = 'X-CSRF-TOKEN';
public $CSRFCookieName = 'csrf_cookie_name';
public $CSRFExpire = 7200;
public $CSRFRegenerate = true;
public $CSRFRedirect = true;So what's the difference here? Where am I supposed to do my settings? Although I'm pretty sure it's working as it is without uncommenting the settings in the .env file. But why do they exist there?

So that you can have three servers with different .env files, and you don't need to touch your Config/App.php to change local settings.

I'm going to rename my Config.php next time I'm on the desktop and see if .env alone is adequate because Config.php works without a .env file
Edit:
I will also try different values in the two files and see which has priority...

Thanks for clearly

What will happen if I have different settings in both the App.php file and the .env file. Which one will override the other?

.env will override your configuration settings.

Also worth noting: keeping the Config.php file free from passwords and other credentials is good practice, especially when checking-in code in a versioning system.
We use the .env file to set up stuff for development environment. The local environment is setup by the programmer and the CI/CO server inject the .env file for staging and production systems.

Just so that I understand correctly:
If I fill the "App.php" configuration file LOCAL with the "live" data AND I have an .env file, then the .env file works LOCAL, right?
If I then transfer my project to the server WITHOUT the .env file, will the data from the configuration folder take effect?

If no .env present, the settings from app/Config/*.php will be used.
