Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Operating System: Linux ; kernel 2.4.18
PHP Version: 5.0.2
New Comment:
I totally agree, it's very misleading.
In older versions of php it was also even more confusing that the value
changes from a directory to a file in the phpinfo() output once php
actually read a file from the directory!
Show a directory in all cases, even when php has read a file. Show the
actual file that was read seperately.
It appears some work on thus bug has been addresses already:
php 5.2.6 shows this:
Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /opt/php5/etc
Loaded Configuration File => /opt/php5/etc/php.ini
however it still needs to be changed.
the configure option and the documentation needs to change from:
--with-config-file-path
to
--with-config-file-dir
then it'll be inline with:
--with-config-file-scan-dir
(feel free to support the current option for legacy reasons)
The php info output should also change from:
Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /opt/php5/etc
Loaded Configuration File => /opt/php5/etc/php.ini
Scan this dir for additional .ini files => /opt/php5/etc/conf.d
to
Configuration File (php.ini) Directory => /opt/php5/etc
Loaded Configuration File => /opt/php5/etc/php.ini
Scan this dir for additional .ini files => /opt/php5/etc/conf.d

Description:
------------
Bug #26735 described this problem but was closed as 'bogus' when it is
really a valid feature request (bug) which needs to be addressed. Please
do not 'bogusify' this request since it could have saved me a lot of
time if not closed previously.
Both the configure option ('--with-config-file-path') and the phpinfo()
output ('Configuration File (php.ini) Path
/usr/local/php5/lib/php5.ini') imply that this option refers to a
'file' when in fact it refers only to a directory - the name of the
config file can ONLY be 'php.ini'. This fact is completely hidden from
the user.
This could be corrected by renaming option to:
'--with-config-file-dir'
And changing phpinfo() output to:
'Configuration File (php.ini) Directory'
Oddly, php tries to read /usr/local/php5/lib/php5.ini/php.ini instead
of the file reported by phpinfo(): /usr/local/php5/lib/php5.ini
strace -eopen php -r '' 2>&1 | grep ini
...
open("/usr/local/php5/lib/php5.ini/php.ini", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOTDIR
(Not a directory)
Bug #26735 said the following:
... the documentation (specifically ./configure --help) is unclear, as
well phpinfo() is unclear as it labels the value supplied with
--with-config-file-path as Configuration File (php.ini) Path, and
typically Path of a file would include the filename. Request that the
flag be renamed --with-config-file-dir and the corrosponding phpinfo()
label be changed as well... i suspect that labels is trivial compared to
making the programs obey the labels.
Reproduce code:
---------------
./configure \
....
--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/php5/lib/php5.ini;
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
Expected result:
----------------
Configuration File (php.ini) Path /usr/local/php5/lib/
...
Actual result:
--------------
Configuration File (php.ini) Path /usr/local/php5/lib/php5.ini
...
php5.ini file is NOT read
