Re: $_ENV not working for me with PHP 4.2.0

Hi Tom, when I put "echo printenv;" into a script, I see in big bold letters: USER=john so this environment variable seems to be available.. getenv('USER'); works fine, so I guess I'll just use that instead.. No idea why $_ENV['USER']; doesn't work though. Thanks for the suggestion, John --- Tom Rogers <trogers@kwikin.com> wrote: > Hi, > > Monday, October 6, 2003, 4:43:20 AM, you wrote: > JW> I've been trying to make a simple script which > just > JW> outputs the username that the script is > currently > JW> executing under (in order to test that suexec is > JW> working properly).
