how to separate config.php, database.php, constant.php file domain specific in codeigniter v3.1.10?

I’m using codeigniter v3.1.10 and i have two projects with domain name abc.example.com and xyz.example.com. i know that in codeigniter according to the environment production or development we could add folders application/config/production and application/config/development in config folder with their respective files in them. An example found in SO : –multiple environments with codeigniter, gives us a provision to add development/production folders inside application/config folder.

But what i’m looking for is domain specific folders inside application/config folder. Is there a way that i could put two folders like application/config/abc.example.com and application/config/xyz.example.com with config.php, database.php and constant.php files in them.

Answer

as per your requirement, you want multiple subdomain configu. e.g for subdomain abc.exmaple.com want to load abc config folder. for subdomain xyz.exmaple.com want to load xyz config folder.

in your index.php

$env= 'development';
list($subdomain,$host) = explode('.', $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"]);
$allowed_subdomains = ['abc','xyz'];
$env = in_array($subdomain,$allowed_sbudomains) ? $subdomain : $env;
define('ENVIRONMENT',$env);

in switch..case below as a case for your subdomain

switch (ENVIRONMENT)
   {
     ...
     ... 
     case 'testing':
     case 'production':
     case $subdomain:
     ....
   }

now create a folder as per your subdomain under the config folder and do your required configuration there.
