Unable to access system-wide environment variable in php-fpm

Ubuntu 16.04, php7.0-fpm, apache 2.4, nginx 1.10.0

I added a system-wide environment variable to both possible locations:

/etc/environment:
ENVTEST=123

/etc/profile.d/env.sh:
export ENVTEST=123

Checking:

vagrant@localhost:~$ echo $ENVTEST
123

In /etc/php/7.0/fpm/pool.d/www.conf I pass the variable to PHP:

env[ENVTEST] = $ENVTEST

But this variable value is a blank string in the $_SERVER array.

If I use a static value in www.conf env[ENVTEST] = 123 it works fine.

In console mode I can access the variable value, it doesn't work only in php-fpm mode.

I also tried to set the variable via SetEnv in Apache config, but it gives the same result - the variable is set but the value is a blank string.

You can test the value is set correctly by using the getenv() function within your script. I have not found a way to push environment variables safely through a script other than setenv(), but if you would it may not push permanent changes to your runtime environment, and might only set it each time you run.
