ID: 60981 Updated by: jpa...@php.net Reported by: david at davidfavor dot com Summary: Shell environment inaccessible in tests Status: Assigned Type: Bug Package: Testing related Operating System: Ubuntu 11.10 PHP Version: 5.3.10 Assigned To: danielc Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I confirm that getenv() works regardless any .ini config. It proxies to SAPI/system getenv() Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-02-07 14:30:43] tyr...@php.net the problem is that the run-tests.php fetches the environment variables from $_ENV http://svn.php.net/viewvc/php/php-src/trunk/run-tests.php?view=markup#l134 then passes the environment variables to the system_with_timeout call (which will proc_open using those environment variables). so there is no documentation issue, only run-tests.php needs a change to either force the variable_orders to contain E(we could pass the --d variable_orders=EGPCS in the run-tests.php call in http://svn.php.net/viewvc/php/php- src/trunk/Makefile.global) or changing run-tests.php to not use the $_ENV array for fetching all the environment vars. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-02-07 14:18:14] tyr...@php.net AFAIK getenv does work independently from variable_orders: foo=bar php -d variables_order=GPC -r 'echo $_ENV["foo"];echo getenv("foo");' outputs "bar" for me, so it works. Tyrael ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-02-07 14:11:31] david at davidfavor dot com That works... So there are two doc errors... #1) http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.environment.php contains comments that getenv() returns environment variables, independent of variable_orders setting. I've submitted a note to clarify this. #2 http://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php states variables_order default setting is "EGPCS", which is incorrect. Both php.ini-production and php.ini-development contain "GPCS". Best to fix both php.ini files so they match the docs. Let me know if I should open another bug request for the doc change. Thanks for helping me get this to work! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-02-06 21:30:59] s...@php.net Try adding E to php.ini's variables_order. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-02-06 20:12:20] david at davidfavor dot com export var=foo is the same as sourcing a file that includes... export var=foo Problem is no shell environment is reaching the test scripts. Please suggest a way to turn off clearing of the environment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
