The SetEnv directive sets variables for Apache's internal environment.the
 I believe the MySQL docs are refering to the Operating System's
environment, which would set this globally for the MyQL server. This is
probably not what you want to do as you appear to be trying to do this
per connection.

You could try using mysqli_options(), but I do not know if that supports
this setting yet. The PHP documentation does not mention it, and I am
unable to test it myself at the moment.
