here is the code:

putenv("LC_ALL=ru_RU.utf8");
print_r($_ENV) . PHP_EOL;
echo getenv('LC_ALL') . PHP_EOL;

I get following response:

ru_RU.utf8

So – it looks like instead of $_GET - it prints $_SERVER and it doesn’t contain LC_ALL. Any clues? (variables_order = "EGPCS").

    It doesn’t print $_SERVER, it print $_ENV. Environment variables are set the web server which is why you see then when you print $_ENV. As it says in the $_ENV documentation, it says:

    An associative array of variables passed to the current script via the
    environment method.

    These variables are imported into PHP’s global namespace from the
    environment under which the PHP parser is running. Many are provided
    by the shell under which PHP is running and different systems are
    likely running different kinds of shells, a definitive list is
    impossible. Please see your shell’s documentation for a list of
    defined environment variables.

    Other environment variables include the CGI variables, placed there
    regardless of whether PHP is running as a server module or CGI
    processor.

    Those values are set when the script is first executed. When you call setenv(), those values are not automatically added to $_ENV. You either have to add them manually or use the getenv() function.

    This was also documented in the putenv documentation comments.
