PHP settings not recognized when using process isolation

[mburtscher]

I configured some $_SERVER variables to be set for tests using the XML file:

<phpunit>
  <php>
    <server name="SERVER_PORT" value="80" />
  </php>
</phpunit>

Works fine but not with process isolation. When marking a test with @runInSeparateProcess I get an "Undefined index: SERVER_PORT" error.

I Just realized that this is just the case when I want to use $_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] in the bootstrap file. This is the case because the application bootstrapper depends on some environment variables being set.

When the template for an isolated test is created, the bootstrapper is called before global variables are set.

While this is not a bug in general, it's kind of strange since it causes a different behavior when using process isolation (globals set after bootstrapper) or not (globals set before bootstrapper).

Since I'm not aware of possible side-effects when changing this behavior I wanted to get your opinion on this before trying to create a pull-request.

Thanks for the bug report, @mburtscher. This is actually a duplicate of #757. Unfortunately, changing the order of events will cause regressions in #17. What might work, though, is to keep track of the values set in the <php> configuration and add those before files are included during process isolation.

The related issue #757 has nothing to to with the issue described above. I have a fix for this issue and would like to submit a pull request.
