Message: [QUOTE="Curt Sampson, post: 4465215"] Well, if anybody's curious, the reason that my PHP code broke after running a mod_ruby script is that PHP doesn't touch the environment, but mod_ruby replaces the environment with what would be provided to a CGI script. My PHP stuff for getting a database connection relied on an environment variable to supply the schema name, and so after running a ruby script during testing, it would in the future connect to the wrong database schema, giving me bogus information. Adding a SetEnv directive to my http config ensured that the variable is passed. However, it's arguably a bug that mod_ruby does not restore the environment when it's finished processing a request, so that other modules see apache's original environment rather than mod_ruby's modified one. cjs [/QUOTE]
