Is there any opportunity to set env variable in php process?

[enl]

Ok, I need to set environment variable for php process while starting built-in server. This is necessary in order to switch to testing database.

My application config file looks like this:

$connection = [
     'database' => getenv('DATABASE_NAME') ?: 'default-name',
];

So all I need is to set DATABASE_NAME variable before starting php -S process. Is there any opportunity to achieve this? Here it is my codeception.yml:

extensions:
    config:
        Codeception\Extension\PhpBuiltinServer:
            hostname: localhost
            port: 8000
            autostart: true
            documentRoot: web
            startDelay: 1
            phpIni: /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
            router: web/index.php
            directoryIndex: index.php

Oh, I actually see #27 and #13 pull requests about exactly the same...

You can simply export environment variables before running CodeCeption, the PHP server process will then respect these.

Setting environment variables before running will not work with Environments feature of Codeception as far as I can tell.
