I'd rather strongly suggest this value not be in the registry.

What happens in the case were two different applications are installed
on the same machine, and both use PHP - but different versions and with
different libraries?  You really don't want machine-global settings.

This isn't a theoretical question! :)  

We will be using PHP in our application and need to be certain that 
any changes the customer makes to there global use of PHP does not
crater out application.  We can get this assurance by using a local
copy of PHP in our application, with a local "php.ini" file.

Instead I'd suggest that the settings stay in php.ini, but that PHP
look for php.ini first local to the installation of php.exe.

I posted a (tested!) patch a few days back to do exactly this.
