It is actually not even a bug regarding PHP, but rather a configuration issue of Apache. Please consult the respective Apache documentation and/or support channels. By the way, did you deliberately switch to (F)CGI?

Which SAPI/Webserver do you use? Also make sure to check the output of var_dump(getenv("COMPUTERNAME")) Does you COMPUTERNAME contain non-ASCII characters? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2021-01-27 14:25:35] info at sperlingprog dot com $PCNAME = strtoupper(getenv("COMPUTERNAME")); getenv returns no result or returns a empty string expected: the name of Windows PC (COMPUTERNAME) the same line in php 7 works as expected ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2021-01-27 07:38:46] requinix@php.net Not enough information was provided for us to be able to handle this bug.
