DESCRIPTION

The [env] tag provides read-only access to the HTTP environment variables. It can both display a specific variable as-is, or produce a complete list of variables and values in a simple HTML table.

List display is useful for simple debugging or diagnostics.

BEHAVIOR

This tag does not appear to be affected by, or affect, the rest of Interchange.

EXAMPLES

Example: Display the client connection and browser information

The client's remote address and port are kept in REMOTE_ADDR and REMOTE_PORT variables. User's browser ID string is kept in HTTP_USER_AGENT.

Client connection: [env REMOTE_ADDR]:[env name="REMOTE_PORT"]<br/>
Client browser: [env arg="HTTP_USER_AGENT"]

Example: Display the simple HTML table with the complete HTTP environment

HTTP environment: <br/>
[env]
