Hello
We are deploying a site using Amazon's Cloudfront, so Im looking to set a global variable that I can reference anywhere, which would have a domain as the value. i.e. media01.domain.com Is there a way for me to create in config something like this?

You can use the input class to get the host header anywhere without any extra config:
Code:
echo $this->input->server('HTTP_HOST');Or vanilla PHP:
Code:
echo $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];Just make sure your DNS is setup to do wildcard sub domains and that your virtual host is setup to accept all host headers with a sub domain. This usually requires a separate IP address for this virtual host. I found this post just now via google that explains in more detail.
EDIT: If the ServerAlias wildcard sub domain works (ServerAlias *.yourdomain.com) than you probably won't need your very own IP.
EDIT: Oops, I changed out SERVER_NAME for HTTP_HOST.
