Apache: How to add to the path for a virtualhost

I need to add an additional path to my Apache configuration for PHP. Ideally, it would be Serverwide but as I’m using ServerPilot it’s easier to just affect the individual VirtualHosts.

The Path is currently set to PATH /opt/sp/php7.3/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin but I need to additionally add /opt/sqlanywhere17/res

eg /opt/sp/php7.3/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/opt/sqlanywhere17/res

I have tried adding

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/sqlanywhere17/res but apache fails to start

What syntax do I need to use in the VirtualHosts .conf file to make this work???

    You can set env variblae using SetEnv in Apache httpd. 

    SetEnv VARIABLE_NAME variable_value

    Refer link for more information.

    You can set path environment variable inside VirtualHost. 

    SetEnv path  /opt/sp/php7.3/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/opt/sqlanywhere17/res

    Then you can retrieve the path variable in PHP using below sample code: 

    <?php
$path = getenv("path");
echo $path;
?>

    To append a path to the PATH env var, you can do this:

    SetEnv PATH "${PATH}:/my/nifty/path/bin"
