Code:$domain = ! empty($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) ? strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) : 'cli';
if (strpos($domain, '.dev') !== false || $domain == 'cli')
{
define('ENVIRONMENT', 'development');
}
else {
define('ENVIRONMENT', 'production');
}
Don't do this. It allows any user to force 'development' as the ENVIRONMENT value.

Damn, good point. Bad developer, no cookie.
And thanks for pointing that out.

What does 'db_debug' => (ENVIRONMENT !== 'production') in database.php do? Does this set the ENVIRONMENT constant, so if I launch an application I could just change this to 'db_debug' => (ENVIRONMENT == 'production')?

This does not set the environment. It sets the 'db_debug' value to the results of the check. The check itself will be TRUE if the the environment is anything other than 'production'. ENVIRONMENT itself is set in the index.php file.

Sorry if this might be off-topic, but under what circumstances would I change this?
RE: $_SERVER['CI_ENV'] -- where is and ENVIRONMENT this set? - kilishan - 04-19-2016
Since that setting only determines whether the database error screen is shown or not, I would never want it to show in production. You might alter it not to show in staging servers, or the like, but that's about the only use I can think of for it.
