Please try using this snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php5.3-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://windows.php.net/snapshots/ It's either fixed or win32 only issue since I can't reproduce this under linux using latest SVN checkout. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-01-08 01:35:52] php at keithtyler dot com 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) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50690&edit=1
