You shoudn't be. This illustrates beautifully the difference between
understanding what one is doing and dabbling around until one stumbles
on something that currently works but that will stop working in other
circumstances.

Yes it is failing via shell, but that doesn't matter. If your purpose
was to have that line working even if the environ variables were not
available, then the line should work from a shell too.

So? That just means that your website is not a good test environment
for checking whether the code works under all circumstances you want
it to work.
