Using Nginx auth in PHP scripts

[Steve Holdoway]

You can pass environment vars to PHP no problem...

Eg: if you set up geoip in nginx.conf

geoip_country		/usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat;

this makes $geoip_country_code available to your nginx config.

If you then set
fastcgi_param GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE $geoip_country_code; 

then

$_SERVER['GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE'] is then available to php.

This can be done for any variable set within nginx.
