Bug #69636 [NEW]: putenv() persits in a cURL request to same server.

From: jake dot zatecky at gmail dot com Operating system: Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 PHP version: 5.6.8 Package: PHP options/info functions Bug Type: Bug Bug description:putenv() persits in a cURL request to same server. Description: ------------ http://php.net/manual/en/function.putenv.php The PHP doc states that when using putenv(), "The environment variable will only exist for the duration of the current request." I have found that if one uses this function and then invokes a cURL request targeting the same server, this environment change persists. Presumably this is because we're using the same request? The same cannot be said if I utilize the $_ENV superglobal. In the test script below, the TEST environment variable will persist for the cURL request. There appears to be no way to reset all environment variables to their original state, short of tracking each key and setting each value before making the request. Setting several of the cURL options also appears to have no affect. Test script: --------------- <?php // caller.php // ------------------ putenv("TEST=This persists on cURL request."); $url = "http://127.0.0.1/callee.php"; $ch = curl_init($url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); echo curl_exec($ch); // callee.php // ------------------ var_dump(getenv("TEST")); Expected result: ---------------- getenv("TEST") returns false Actual result: -------------- getenv("TEST") returns "This persists on cURL request." -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69636&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69636&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69636&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69636&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69636&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69636&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69636&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69636&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69636&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69636&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69636&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69636&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69636&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69636&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69636&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69636&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69636&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69636&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69636&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69636&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69636&r=mysqlcfg
