#31591 [Opn]: env information needs clarification

ID: 31591 Updated by: vrana@php.net Reported By: aronnax_98 at yahoo dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Mac OS X 10.3.7 PHP Version: 4.3.9 New Comment: These functions differ only in availability (both of them may or may not exist) and utilization of safe_mode AFAIK. They are bound in the meaning that apache_setenv("X", "a") affects getenv("X") but putenv("X=a") doesn't affect apache_getenv("X"). Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-01-18 19:44:54] philip@php.net This requirement has been documented, but some questions: 1) Assuming putenv() or apache_setenv() aren't used, will apache_getenv(), getenv(), and the Superglobals always have the same value? 2) How do these functions differ? putenv() vs. apache_setenv(), etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-01-18 12:12:13] sniper@php.net Yes, it is available, but only with Apache2. Documentation should have a note about it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-01-18 04:01:58] aronnax_98 at yahoo dot com Description: ------------ When I try to call apache_getenv(...), PHP claims that the function doesn't exist. The function is present in the online PHP manual. Reproduce code: --------------- echo apache_getenv('SOME_ENV_VARIABLE'); Expected result: ---------------- VALUE_OF_SOME_ENV_VARIABLE Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Call to undefined function: apache_getenv() in /www/php/dryerase/config.php on line 21 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=31591&edit=1
