Hi, I noticed that php.ini-development now sets variables_order="GPCS" instead of "EGPCS".
run-test.php uses $_ENV to read environment variables and will set those on all the child processes it creates. However, if variables_order="GPCS", $_ENV will be empty and the environment variables table on the child process will be empty, at least on Windows, the only env variables the child then gets are PATH and COMSPEC. Importantly, TEMP or TMP is not available, which causes a problem for generating temporary file names, and on Windows, that breaks OpCache. Often, php.ini-development will just be renamed to php.ini. Since $_ENV isn't preferred anymore, run-test.php shouldn't be dependent on it. I can fix this myself, but would like to know the preferred solution. I suggest any of these fixes: 1. die if variables_order doesn't include "E" 2. die if $_ENV is empty: lots of tests will be false fails if no env vars are set, so prevent getting to that point. 3. use getenv() to read common environment variables(TEMP or TMP) at least. getenv() doesn't provide a list of environment variable names, and ideally it would just copy all of them, so try to use $_ENV and only use getenv() if TEMP or TMP is not set. and then die if $_ENV is still empty.
