title: In drupal7, how can i use varibles when exporting configuration using features and strongarm modules?
body: <p>I am working on a drupal7 site.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>In Dev, I have enabled and configured simplesamlphp_auth module.</p></li>
  <li><p>I used features and strongarm to export the configuration to code. </p></li>
  <li><p>The downloaded feature contain:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>myfeature_sso.features.defaultconfig.inc </li>
  <li>myfeature_sso.info</li>
  <li>myfeature_sso.module</li>
  </ul></li>
  <li><p>The .inc file contains the configuration values I had put in (admin/config/people/simplesamlphp_auth) correctly</p></li>
  <li><p>Now, in a few places, I want to replace the hard coded values with variables that change based on the environment. I set the variables at the top of .inc file using variable_get $office_ou = variable_get('office_ou', NULL); ...and . A quick example is $base_url below:</p>
  
  <p>$strongarm = new stdClass();
  $strongarm->disabled = FALSE;<br>
  $strongarm->api_version = 1;
  $strongarm->name = 'simplesamlphp_auth_logoutgotourl';
  $strongarm->value = $base_url ;
  $export['simplesamlphp_auth_logoutgotourl'] = $strongarm;</p></li>
  <li><p>When I DPM these variables, they display correct values.</p></li>
  <li><p>But on a fresh install when I enable myfeature_sso module the value of variables are missing.</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/VYBAA.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">missing value from $base_url variable</a></p>
  
  <p>Can you please point me in the right direction?
  Thank you. </p>
