.php files see Apache environment variables, .html files don't

Question

Consider this environment:

$ cat .htaccess
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html
SetEnv Foo Bar

$ cat test.php
<?php
echo "Hello: ";
echo $_SERVER['Foo'];
echo $_ENV['Foo'];
echo getenv('Foo');
?>

$ cat test.html
<?php
echo "Hello: ";
echo $_SERVER['Foo'];
echo $_ENV['Foo'];
echo getenv('Foo');
?>

This is the output of test.php:

Hello BarBarBar

This is the output of test.html:

Hello 

Why might that be? How might I fix it?

Here is phpinfo.php: http://pastebin.com/rgq7up61

Here is phpinfo.html: http://pastebin.com/VUKFNZ36

If anyone knows where I can host a real webpage instead of just the HTML for one, please let me know and I'll move the content to there. Thanks.

Answer 1

the difference is visible in the block:

Environment 

there in the html-version all variables are set in the old global form:

$HTTP_HOST, $HTTP_USER_AGENT, etc.

and in the new form too:

$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"], $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"], ...

in the php version they are set only in the new form. it seems like the html-version uses another php.ini.

also i see the variable

$_SERVER["ORIG_SCRIPT_FILENAME"]    ="/var/www/cgi-bin/cgi_wrapper/cgi_wrapper"

maybe the html-file is parsed with the

/etc/php5/cli/php.ini
