## MSM Example

If your ExpressionEngine installation is hosting multiple sites, you can specify different values for MSM sites configuiration by using site short name as prefix.

Th site short name can be accessed in the code using `$GLOBALS['assign_to_config']['site_name']` variable.

The below example demonstrates this approach, assuming you have 2 MSM sites with short names of `default_site` and `second_site`

```
# .env.php

# SITE-SPECIFIC SETTINGS

default_site.BASE_PATH=/home/sites/mysite.test/
default_site.BASE_URL=http://mysite.test/

second_site.BASE_PATH=/home/sites/anothersite.test/
second_site.BASE_URL=http://anothersite.test/

# DATABASE SETTINGS
# # # # # # # # # # # #
DB_HOSTNAME=db
DB_DATABASE=db
DB_USERNAME=db
DB_PASSWORD=db
DB_PORT=3306
```

```
// system/user/config.php
<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

$config['save_tmpl_files'] = 'y';

$config['base_path'] = $_ENV[$GLOBALS['assign_to_config']['site_name'] . '.' . 'BASE_PATH'];
$config['base_url'] = $_ENV[$GLOBALS['assign_to_config']['site_name'] . '.' . 'BASE_URL'];

$config['site_url'] = $config['base_url'];

$config['app_version'] = '7.2.0';
$config['encryption_key'] = 'bb748b72de235352315122d00';
$config['session_crypt_key'] = '985796e4444444563463e2c80242';
