there is already something like this, see:

safe_mode_allowed_env_vars
safe_mode_protected_env_vars

options your php.ini.

As for the original post, when you start Apache it inherits all your
environment, this is how the programs work least on *nix.

If you don't want that, use the magic `env' program like this:

# /usr/bin/env -i /opt/apache/sbin/httpd

(with your env and httpd paths, of course).
The -i options `clears' the environ so the httpd process starts w/o
inheriting anything.
