Operating System: Windows Server 2003
PHP Version: 5.0.4
New Comment:
The problem was indeed the quotes. I don't play in the registry much,
hence my mistake. I know I've seen them on other keys, but I guess not
file paths. Also regarding the slashes, I mistyped the bug report but
they were correct in the registry key.

You can't use quotes around the value stored in IniFilePath.

Can you please change the forward slash in "C:\Program
Files/php-5.0.4-Win32" to backslash and test it?

Description:
------------
I read in install.txt that I could put a path for my php.ini file in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PHP\IniFilePath. This applies to PHP 5 only
as I understand it.
I tried that, but PHP 5 kept accessing the php.ini in c:\winodws. It
took me a while to figure out, and I had to download Filemon
(www.systeminternals.com) to figure it out. It turns out that, under
IIS 6 at least, whatever you put in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PHP\IniFilePath is actually appended to the
web server executable root directory, and does not stand on its own (as
the documentation implies). In my case, IIS looked for the ini file at
C:\windows\system32\inetsrv\"C:\Program Files/php-5.0.4-Win32"\php.ini
which is not valid.
I reconfigured the variable to be ../../../Program
Files/php-5.0.4-Win32, and things worked. Note the exclusion of quotes
is important.
Reproduce code:
---------------
Here is the context from install.txt;
Copy your chosen
ini-file to a directory that PHP is able to find and rename it to
php.ini. PHP searches for php.ini in the following locations (in
order):
* PHPIniDir directive (Apache 2 module only)
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PHP\IniFilePath
* The PHPRC environment variable
* Directory of PHP (for CLI), or the web server's directory (for
SAPI modules)
* Windows directory (C:\windows or C:\winnt)
Expected result:
----------------
For IIS to read C:\Program Files/php-5.0.4-Win32 for my php.ini when
"C:\Program Files/php-5.0.4-Win32" is in the registry.
Actual result:
--------------
IIS read the invalid path C:\windows\system32\inetsrv\"C:\Program
Files/php-5.0.4-Win32"\php.ini instead.
