You can use Yii::app()->params to store such variables.

In config:


'params' => array(

   'server-status' => 'production',

),

However, maybe it’s a better solution to define a global constant in your index.php. It has some benefits like using the constant in your config file (eg use a different db connnection in production).


define('PRODUCTION', false);

Thanks for reply. it is working now.

I used params instead of constant.
