FastCGI doesn't set environment variables. Only CGI does that since the CGI binary is executed for each request. FastCGI binaries run as a server listening on a unix/tcp socket for connections from the frontend web server. It works the like a webapp listening for http requests on a local socket with reverse http proxy rules setup on the frontend web server.
