php putenv lang,PHP putenv 用法 手册 | 示例代码

Environment variables are part of the underlying operating system's

way of doing things, and are used to pass information between a parent

process and its child, as well as to affect the way some internal

functions behave.  They should not be regarded as ordinary PHP

variables.

A primary purpose of setting environment variables in a PHP script is

so that they are available to processes invoked by that script using

e.g. the system() function, and it's unlikely that they would need to

be changed for other reasons.

For example, if a particular system command required a special value

of the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to execute successfully,

then the following code might be used on a *NIX system:

$saved=getenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH");// save old value$newld="/extra/library/dir:/another/path/to/lib";// extra paths to addif ($saved) {$newld.=":$saved"; }// append old paths if anyputenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$newld");// set new valuesystem("mycommand -with args");// do system command;

// mycommand is loaded using

// libs in the new path listputenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$saved");// restore old value?>

It will usually be appropriate to restore the old value after use;

LD_LIBRARY_PATH is a particularly good example of a variable which it

is important to restore immediately, as it is used by internal

functions.

If php.ini configuration allows, the values of environment variables

are made available as PHP global variables on entry to a script, but

these global variables are merely copies and do not track the actual

environment variables once the script is entered.  Changing

$REMOTE_ADDR (or even $HTTP_ENV_VARS["REMOTE_ADDR"]) should not be

expected to affect the actual environment variable; this is why

putenv() is needed.

Finally, do not rely on environment variables maintaining the same

value from one script invocation to the next, especially if you have

used putenv().  The result depends on many factors, such as CGI vs

apache module, and the exact way in which the environment is

manipulated before entering the script.
