Hi, I'd like to read an environment variable with PHP. I've tried with :
       exec ('echo $CONTEXTE_D_EXECUTION',$result);
$result is empty !!! I've put the variable in /etc/environment, in /etc/profile, in /etc/bash.bashrc but nothing worked... Do you have any idea ? If it is not possible, I suppose I can put a variable in php.ini ? Thank you very much. David. PHP is running from apache, which is running probably from the nobody
user. This user hasn't loaded any variables i think. So, why are you not just reading /etc/profile from php? Tijnema
