It defines a shell environment variable that will be available during the shell session to be used as arguments for shell commands and programs. For example:

$ VAR1='test'
$ echo $VAR1
test
$

It is possible to use a environment variables inside a program, but to do that you will need to:

  1. use a library that provides access to them as this one for php
  2. use export VAR1 after defining the environment variable
