I using Zend Framework 2 and PHP built-in server.

Zend documentation says:

Optionally, when using Apache, you can use the APPLICATION_ENV setting in your VirtualHost to let PHP output all its errors to the browser. This can be useful during the development of your application.

I want to be able to see all errors when I run the "php-built-in-server" on my machine.

But if I set $_SERVER['APPLICATION_ENV'] = 'development' at the beginning in index.php it can be difficult to work with public (dev) GIT remote and (deployment) private remote. Everytime when I have to commit something I have to change the $_SERVER['APPLICATION_ENV'] for each environment - in each commit.

Is there a way to set a $_SERVER[] variable without affecting the actual code?

Is there anyway you can include this call in an external file, then have git ignore it when you commit/vice-versa? – Hunter Frazier May 12 '15 at 17:13
@HunterFrazier - thanks it's good idea. I will try to do something like this without affecting Zend functionality. – Ifch0o1 May 12 '15 at 17:15
@Devon - Yes I have seen this question - it's about apache and `.htaccess`. PHP built-in server not supporting `.htaccess` – Ifch0o1 May 12 '15 at 17:16
My fault, I misunderstood your question, removed it. – Devon Bessemer May 12 '15 at 17:17
