When using the SetEnv directive in the Apache2 httpd.conf file to set (and pass) an environment variable to PHP, the variable name/value pair is showing up in the _SERVER superglobals array, not the _ENV array or even the Environment list on a phpinfo() output page.

This is Apache 2.0.36 and PHP 4.2.1

The only way I can get real environment variables into PHP is set/export them in my shell prior to running the Apache2 binary.  Doing it from the Apache2 httpd.conf file via the SetEnv is not working.

For example:

In my httpd.conf:
SetEnv TESTPATH /usr/local

...gets reported in phpinfo() as:
_SERVER["TESTPATH"] = /usr/local

It does not show up in the _ENV array, and definitely not in the Environment list.

It goes into the Apache environment which is found via $_SERVER. Not bug.
