If you have to modify anything other than a single config file in order

I'm with Larry on this. Include a constants file at the top of your
scripts. In that file you can place a switch block that tests for the
$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']. For each case, place something like:


That's bad, too, if you have multiple developers on the project. Just have a separate config file that contains *nothing* but the installation config, and every install has its own copy.


How so? If, by multiple developers, you mean multiple *development domains*, then yes, that'd need tweaking. Otherwise, i fail to see the badness.

Multiple developers as in more than one person coding the application.

You'd be sharing the development environment (database, files etc) - not what you want.

Think if your app was in cvs/subversion and you had someone working on the same stuff at the desk next to you.
