phpGroupWare attempt to provide developers with as much information about the user, group, server, and application configuration as possible. To do this we provide a multi-dimensional array called $phpgw_info[], which includes all the information about your environment.Due to the multi-dimensional array approach. getting these values is easy.
Here are some examples:
<?php // To do a hello username echo "Hello " . $phpgw_info["user"]["fullname"]; //If username first name is John and last name is Doe, prints: 'Hello John Doe' ?> <?php // To find out the location of the imap server echo "IMAP Server is named: " . $phpgw_info["server"]["imap_server"]; //If imap is running on localhost, prints: 'IMAP Server is named: localhost' ?> |
