I'm a little bit confused about the Windows System %PATH% variable. When I ran the following script with both, php-cli and as a webpage delivered by apache, I get different output for the path variable.
// different output for php-cli and php executed by apache webserver
<?php
system('echo %PATH%');
?>
Where can I change the PATH variable that is in use with the apache webserver?
My system:
- Win7 64bit
- Zend Server Community Edition 5.0.4 (with Apache, not IIS)
Edit: Sorry, I had to give you an example to understand the problem:
I wanted to exec the system('mysqldump .....') command or something like that. The point is, running the script from the command line works, because the MySQL bin path is in the system's path but running the script via webbrowser doesn't include the MySQL bin path in the system's path.
The web system's path is:
C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;D:\Programme\Sysinternals;C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Zend\ZendServer\bin
Bit the original system's path is much longer. My question is now, where is the system's path limited or where can I find the system's path settings for the web executed php script?
