Yup, but the manual seems kind of "light" on the subject.

I found these in $_ENV and $_SERVER, on Linux. I don't have handy access
to a working Windows installation, yet it needs to work on Windows as well.
If it really does exist on Windows, this might be the ticket, otherwise
a partial solution for Linux only.

That's at least something. If someone could confirm, that would be great.
I used the following command (at the command-line) to check the contents
of $_SERVER:
php -r 'print_r($_SERVER);'
Obviously, $_ENV can be checked similarly.

Unfortunately, I think it's not an option in my case. The sub-process I
run this way are way, way too big to include in the main process. As
long as I was just running it on my own systems, it was easy to
hard-code the location of the PHP executable but now that it's being
distributed, it needs to "just work"...
Thanks again,
