Description:
------------
I use Debian 9 (Stretch) with latest nginx and php7.2 fpm which is all configured well.

Now I want to use nextcloud but this want access to 'env[PATH]' which isn't working over PHP 'getenv(PATH)' so it errors out.

I found in http://php.net/manual/en/install.fpm.configuration.php the value "clear_env" which is set by default to true/yes so I added it in php-fpm.conf and are getting now "unkkown entry 'clear_env'".

I used before sysvinit-core and replaced it with systemd-sysv because of "Thanks for the report. Well, unfortunately php-fpm without systemd support doesn't recognise this configuration option." But I could not found the related bug to this.

I hope that someone can lookup for this and tell me what went wrong or if this is now a bug in 7.2.1 fpm.

Expected result:
----------------
PHP 7.2 FPM runs after adding 'clear_env = no'

Actual result:
--------------
[....] Starting php7.2-fpm (via systemctl): php7.2-fpm.serviceJob for php7.2-fpm.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status php7.2-fpm.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

clear_env is a pool setting, meaning it has to be a pool section - like a [www]. Is that where you put it? What is your php-fpm.conf?
