Answer 1

The problem is when you run the php-fpm. The process not load the environment.
You can load it in the startup script.
My php-fpm is install by apt-get.
So modify the

/etc/init.d/php5-fpm

and add (beware the space between the dot and the slash)

. /etc/profile

and modify the /etc/profile to add

. /home/user/env.sh

In the env.sh. You can export the environment whatever you need.

Then modify

php-fpm.conf

add env[MY_ENV_VAR_1] = 'value1' under the [www] section.
Last. restart the php-fpm. You'll get the environment load by the fpm.
