Setting environment variables for accessing in PHP when using Apache
PhpApacheUbuntuEnvironment VariablesPhp Problem Overview
I have a Linux environment and I have a PHP Web Application that conditionally runs based on environment variables using getenv in PHP. I need to know how these environment variables need to be set for the application to work correctly. I am not sure how to set this up on Apache.
Also, I need to be able to configure separate environment variables for each domain separately.
Please advice on how can I achieve this.

Something along the lines:
<VirtualHost hostname:80>
...
SetEnv VARIABLE_NAME variable_value
...
</VirtualHost>

You can also do this in a .htaccess file assuming they are enabled on the website.
SetEnv KOHANA_ENV production
Would be all you need to add to a .htaccess to add the environment variable
Solution 3 - Php
If your server is Ubuntu and Apache version is 2.4
> Server version: Apache/2.4.29 (Ubuntu)
Then you export variables in /etc/apache2/envvars location.
Just like this below line, you need to add an extra line in /etc/apache2/envvars
export MY_ENV_NAME=myEnvValue

Unbelievable, but on httpd 2.2 on centos 6.4 this works.
Export env vars in /etc/sysconfig/httpd
export mydocroot=/var/www/html
Then simply do this...
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot ${mydocroot}
</VirtualHost>
Then finally....
service httpd restart;
