I've been using putenv with PHP 4.3.1 and Apache 2.0.44,  
but it does not seem to restore variables correctly. I'm  
getting +0100 and -0800 entries all across my Apache logs  
for a static image server, referenced from multiple sites  
with different putenv("TZ=zone"); initializations.  
  
Apparenty putenv does not work for a specific request  
only, as documented (different problem than closed bug 
#10970). I also believe putenv affects all  
threads within a process. This virually makes it  
impossible to use different timezones for different  
virtual hosts, without poisoning Apache logs with  
different timezones in it (which fails for a lot of  
analyzing software). 
  
# ./configure  --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs  
--with-gd --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql  
--with-pgsql=/usr/local/postgresql  
--with-zlib-dir=/usr/lib
