: putenv("UNIQID=$uniqid");

: Then on other page I used
:
: echo getenv("UNIQID");
: phpinfo();
:
: And the variable created before never appear
putenv() doesn't put the variable in the global
buffer. Just the local buffer of that application. It is destroyed
when the program ends! So the other program cannot read it
(exec() family of functions in C allows passing of environment,
but you'll have to call the other program from C as well....)
Enjoy!
