ok, but according to apache documentation apache setenv "Sets an environment variable, which is
then passed on to CGI scripts and SSI pages" , it could be considered that those variables
should also be in php enviroment, where in fact they appear to be (as they could be accesed with
getenv) and that it should also be in the enviroment of programs called by php. From a strict point
of view the enviroment of apache should be propagated to php and then also to programs called by
php. Apache API has functions to initialize and set the enviroment but that functions are not called
by the php module. In th other hand when php is run as cgi then that enviroment is correctly set
which makes it more inconsistent with how it works when run as an apache module.
Maybe this could be trated as a feature request rather than an bug (and i could provide a patch for
the apache php module which will correctly set the enviroment).
Anyway the documentation should be changed to state that the apache enviroment in not really in the
real program enviroment and that is not available for programs called by php).

>If PHP can access that variables via getenv() it (should)>mean that they are in the enviroment
Nope. That means only that those "environment" variables are in Apache hash.

If PHP can access that variables via getenv() it (should) mean that they are in the enviroment and
should also be accesible to programs called by PHP, but they are not. This does not look like a
apache issue, it's PHP who calls the external programs and who has the chance to set it's
enviroment

This is how Apache works and apparently PHP cannot change it.
Not PHP problem.
