Bug description: putenv() does not assign values to env. vars when the value
is one character
Description:
------------
In PHP 5.3.1, a putenv() call with a one character value does not assign
the value to the variable -- however it does create the variable.
It doesn't matter what type of character it is (alpha, numeric, or
other).
A workaround is to add a space character before or after the value, e.g.:
putenv("bar= x");
putenv("bar=x ");
(...as long as this space does not cause problems for the consumers of the
variable as it will be part of the string value.)
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
putenv("foo=ab");
putenv("bar=c");
var_dump(getenv("foo"));
var_dump(getenv("bar"));
var_dump(getenv("thisvardoesnotexist"));
?>
Expected result:
----------------
We would expect the output to be:
string(2) "ab"
string(1) "c"
bool(false)
which it does under PHP 5.3.0.
Actual result:
--------------
string(2) "ab"
string(0) ""
bool(false)
