.bash_profile is read only if you're using a login shell. So if you call
shell somewhere along the line, you should call it with --login option (most
propably you are not). When bash is started non-interactively, it looks for
the variable BASH_ENV in the environment and uses that (file) as input.
That's probably set as .bashrc. Check what's yours, and put your TERM there.
If your calling "sh" instead of "bash", it will look for ENV instead of
BASH_ENV. I don't know php, what it uses for system calls.

So you export TERM=something and run your program from that same terminal,
and sometimes it works and sometimes not? What says "echo $TERM" in either
case? I don't know what's happening there.
