Access of Server variables by users

[Na...@cybernetsoft.com]

Hi All

I have a situation where postgres user will set an enviroment variable and 
this variable must be 
available to apache user (or nobody user) so that the i can manupulate 
something based on this
variable in my php application.

Can anyone throw some light as to how to proceed in this situation

Thanks in advance

are you using apache 1.3  or apache 2.0 ? 

apache2.0 series has this provision inside the apachectl file


# pick up any necessary environment variables
if test -f [path_to_your_apache]/bin/envvars; then
  . [path_to_your_apache]/bin/envvars
fi

update the envvars file and restart your apache server
