Based on Sergey's video, I did the same test. I'm getting an error message. What am I doing wrong ?

Did you make sure that $_ENV["mypassword"] actually holds the required value?

Your environment variable name is: "test" and the value is "mypassword".
The code should look like this: $pwd = $_ENV["test"]
I hope this helps.

Hi Corrie, the text above is a mistake. I've used the correct parameters:

But the error message remains ...

@Jan,

did you see my question?

Jan,

did you make sure that ENV is listed in the "variables_order" section of your php.ini?

; This directive determines which super global arrays are registered when PHP
; starts up. G,P,C,E & S are abbreviations for the following respective super
; globals: GET, POST, COOKIE, ENV and SERVER.
; Default Value: "EGPCS"

Otherwise

$_ENV

will be empty.

Sergey, the variable is visible in the console (CMD),

I replaced the line $pwd = $_ENV["test"]; with this line $pwd = getenv('test');

Now it works fine. Thanks.
