You can't do it. Win98 only allows a process to change the environment for that
process and it's children. Once the process ends, the environment goes back to
what it was.
It works from a batch file because the process interpreting the batch file is
command.com - the same one which is running your window. But to process a PHP
file, command.com has to start a child process (php.exe). And php.exe can only
change it's environment and those of its children.
About the only thing you might be able to do is run the php program and from
there start a new command.com process. The new one will have the environment
variables you want.
