PHP get environment variables from system then from .htaccess

Question

I have set environment variable in:

System (Windows 7, apache)
```
ENVIRONMENT = localhost
```
.htaccess file
```
SetEnv ENVIRONMENT localhost
```

Now in my php code I get this variable with function getenv().

$environment = getenv('ENVIRONMENT');

Question:

How to get variable from system first, if it is not set, then get variable from .htaccess

SetEnv is actually the same thing as setting a system env var. The difference is that you set it with a specific value that only applies to the environment in which apache runs. You can define the ENVIRONMENT variable with any value you like, as long as apache is running in a different environment, it doesn't matter. So when you say "get the var from system", you seem to mean "get it from env X first, then from the apache env" which makes no sense at all — Elias Van Ootegem

As i know you can't htaccess overwriting all, only the option is take that ENVIRONMENT var in other php script where that htaccess not have any influence and store it in session lets say and the overwrite by session(if it presetn) $environment variable
