Setting a Php $_SERVER value ($_SERVER['something']) using Apache .htaccess

Question

Is it possible using .htaccess or other apache powers to set a custom server value in the php array $_SERVER.

for example

if($_SERVER['is_special']) {
    echo "Yeah for us!";
} else {
    echo "No you fool!";
}

I realize I ask a lot of questions that the answer is no so feel free to say so.

Try the SetEnv directive:

SetEnv is_special foobar

There it is! 'is_special' => string 'foobar' (length=6)

Note that you need mod_env to do this.

Try and avoid polluting the $_SERVER variable. I would recommend creating some sort of Registry class if you want to store global data.

Of course you can write on $_SERVER variable, it's recommended for server specified configuration (such as API key etc... Browser type detected, country detection etc...)

So it is not possible with just php code to randomly create a $_SERVER variable and assign a value for it.
