I installed texlive 2019. Everything works fine (and faster), if I run my .php
script from terminal (and biber from therein). Instead, biber crashes if I call
the same  .php script from a web browser (localhost/myscript.php) 

For some reason I do not remember any more, my .bash_profile includes lines:
PAR_GLOBAL_TEMP=/var/www/tmp
export PAR_GLOBAL_TEMP

It does not fix to set PAR_GLOBAL_TEMP=/var/www/html/tmp

thanks
cheers
