I've got my dev and production environments all setup, and the mysql
DBs working fine. What need to do is set the mysql.default_host option
in php.ini to be one thing on dev, and something different on
production. Unfortunately, my web host doesn't allow me to mess with
php.ini.

So, what's the best way to specify a different host to mysql_connect()
on dev and production. Yes, I could manually edit the variable
everything I FTP, but I'd rather not.

Should I use a global variable in a separate include file? Other
options?

Thanks.
