    Passing Envoronment Variables to Executables

    Hello everyone,

    I need to pass some Envoronment Variables to a file (to be used to CGI scripts). I also need to run that executable and pipe all the output to my program and into a buffer.

    I have been using _popen() to get the input to my program and its all been working fine, now the only difference is I need to supply that environment variable.

    What functions should I look up that can do this? Can I still use _popen() and simply add a line to it before calling? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    ~ Paul

    PS: This is what I have tried:

    set QUERY_STRING "?user=john"
    PHP.exe H:\paul.php

    But that doesn't work, somehow I need to tell PHP.exe theres an envoronment variable for it.

    No sorry, thats to get the env. variable. What I need is to SET the environment variable to the value I desire.

    Any ideas?
