Bug description: Allow ini_set('include_path', ??) even when php_admin_value
include_path is set
Description:
------------
After the patch for #41561 was applied, ini_set() could no longer
overwrite any configuration value that was previously defined using
php_admin_*.
In #43598 sniper wrote: php_admin_* is supposed to make any such option
unusable by anybody in any script. And it's meant for hosting companies.
I agree, that in a hosting environment no customer should be able to
overwrite configuration like open_basedir. But there is no harm in allowing
the customer to change include_path; on the contrary is it of great use for
the customer to add his own libraries.
Before the #41561 patch was applied, this was already possible for years
and that was no bug, because overwriting open_basedir was not possible at
all.
I suggest to define another "Changeable" scope (see
http://php.net/manual/en/ini.php) for configuration values like
"PHP_INI_OVERWRITEABLE" wich behaves like "PHP_INI_ALL" but in addition to
that can be overwritten using ini_set() even when previously defined using
php_admin_*. The inlude_path would be one of the new PHP_INI_OVERWRITEABLE
directives, additional harmless ones must be defined.
Please make sure to properly document that change - the new behavior of
the patch for #41561 is still not documented anywhere (or I did not find
it..)
