I don't understand why an application should not know which environment it is running in? You should be able to instruct a frontend where to look for a backend, depending on the environment it is running in. What best practice are you referring to?
And may I ask why the PHP built-in server was created in the first place, if we already have Apache and Nginx server environments? Is it not a convenient for development environments?

My point is, would the built-in server ever be used for anything other than local development? If not, then it would be a simple convenience to developers to have an automatic environment variable of "development" when launching the built-in server. Instead of manually creating this environment variable, it would just be there.As a matter of best practice, an application should not need to know which environment it is running in, let alone be designed specifically to respond to the PHP built-in server.
