PHPIniDir only works in Apache 2, I think... > Rather, > the trick used to be to simply place the php.ini file somewhere in the > path that has been set for all Windows applications. Or the path which was compiled into the php DLL when it was compiled. This was usually: C:\php C:\php4 C:\php5 or some variant on that. > Normally, the 'windows' or 'winnt\system32' directories do the trick. I suspect this only "works" if there was no specific directory chosen when php DLL was compiled, but it MIGHT be the case that Apache/PHP would automatically look here via the Windows OS system rules... Rather than guess, however, a quick look at: http://php.net/phpinfo output on your own server will tell you EXACTLY where PHP expects the php.ini file to be. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
