Apache env variables

Output the PATH env variable:

echo getenv('PATH');
die();

These don’t work with a brew services started httpd:

~/.bash_profile
~/.bashrc
~/.profile
/etc/paths

Instead env variables need to be added to the service’s .plist (see path via brew services list):

/Library/LaunchDaemons/homebrew.mxcl.httpd.plist
