title: SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV development - .htaccess interacting with Zend Framework?
body: <p>I have the following on my htaccess.</p>
  
  <pre><code>SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV development
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I pass this file to prodution, I will change it to:</p>
  
  <pre><code>SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV production
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>development</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>and </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>production</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>are set on Zend Framework <em>application.ini</em> correct ?</p>
  
  <p><strong>How does Zend and Apache communicate here? How does Zend knows about that htaccess instruction?</strong></p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
