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?

Well, as David BERCOT pointed out, if this is in a web environment
then the environment available to php will be that of whatever user
your web server is running as (probably 'nobody' if you're on apache,
not sure about other web servers). So, you'll need to look at making
that variable available in you're web server user's env.

[PHP] Environment Variables Functions Incompatible???
I am running code on different versions of PHP, specifically 4.0.6 and
4.1.2. For some reason, you have to use $HTTP_SERVER_VARS[HTTP_HOST]) on
4.0.6 and $_SERVER[HTTP_HOST] on 4.1.2. I'm not sure who thought that
breaking backward compatibility was a good idea, but let's ignore that for
the moment. In this situation, the obvious thing to do here would be to
make a common function to return the hostname. But, this does not work as
illustrated below:
- this is the main PHP script
?php
//main.php
include (crap.php);
function thisalsonowork()
{
print Third one: (.isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS[HTTP_HOST]).);
}
thisnowork();
print Second one: (.isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS[HTTP_HOST]).);
thisalsonowork();
?
--- this is the include/require script
?php
//crap.php
function thisnowork()
{
print First one: (.isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS[HTTP_HOST]).);
}
?
--- Here is the output
First one: ()Second one: (1)Third one: ()
Besides the fact that the different versions of PHP provide different
environment variables for determining the host, the isset() on the env
variable works differently inside a function. What is going on here?
Am I just missing something obvious?

$HTTP_SERVER_VARS is only available in the global scope but you're trying to
use it inside the scope of your function. Here's how to do it.
function doo() {
global $HTTP_SERVER_VARS;
print_r($HTTP_SERVER_VARS);

Re: [PHP] Environment Variables ???
The HTTP_IDENT env. variable was depreciated due to its limited use. REMOTE_USER does have a value if the user has been authenticated. If the authentication was successfull then the users name is stored in here. Use HTTP_REFERER if you want to know where the visitors were before they came to your site or a page on it.

Why do the Environment Variables REMOTE_IDENT REMOTE_USER HTTP_FROM HTTP_IDENT and others exists IF they don't return any information ??? Is there anyway to find out Who visit's your site.
