Sorry my english, I'm from Argentine

I'm trying to use PUTENV and GETENV to trace some actions from users.
I tested with the example from documentation

Example 1. Setting an Environment Variable

putenv("UNIQID=$uniqid");

Then on other page I used

echo getenv("UNIQID");
phpinfo();

And the variable created before never appear

I test with php_track_vars, ON and OFF with <?php_track_vars?>, and the result is the same.
I tested this on BSD and IRIX with apache and on NT with IIS4

putenv() affects the current process only

with cgi the effects are lost on script end,
and even with server modules the chance of
getting a new request served by the same 
process you did use putenv() in before is 
rather low ...
