Title
Body
I have a script that uses passthru() to run a command. I need to set some shell environment variables before running this command, otherwise it will fail to find it's libraries. I've tried the following: putenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/lib"); passthru($cmd); Using putenv() doesn't appear to propagate to the command I'm running. It fails saying it can't find it libraries. When I run export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/lib in bash, it works fine. I also tried the following (in vain): exec("export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/lib"); passthru($cmd); How can I set a shell variable from PHP, that propagates to child processes of my PHP script? Am I limited to checking if a variable does not exist in the current environment and asking the user to manually set it?
