It's even easier than calling getenv. :)  PHP stores these variables as actual
PHP variables. So to get the value of the SSL_CIPHER, you can just use
$SSL_CIPHER.

And thank you for posting.  I have an application I'm working on where I need
to check those variables.  Now I don't have to go look them up. :)
