Set env var to PHP-FPM

After installing nginx and php, I wanted to use environment vars inside PHP 7 so I don’t need to save configuration to my repo.

Usually when using environment vars the ideal is to set it without having it saved in a file but on this case it was easier to.

If you want to add environment variables to your PHP-FPM you can edit /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf (I’m doing it on Amazon Linux and PHP 7.0)

There is a flag clear_env = no where you’re able to set if php-fpm will receive a clean environment or not. I decided to leave it as the default value and but setting my vars as

env[WP_SECURE_AUTH_KEY] = "some-value"
env[WP_NONCE_KEY] = "nonce-key"

After this I restarted my nginx and php-fpm.

sudo service nginx restart
sudo service php-fpm restart
