From: ceo at l-i-e dot com Operating system: Windows XP PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: PHPIniDir without php.ini make phpinfo() weird
Description: ------------ I'm a step-by-step kind of guy, so I double-check things as I go. After installing Apache 2.2 and PHP 5.2.0, I checked my phpinfo() Despite a PHPIniDir setting of "C:/php" it claimed that php.ini was being "found" in "C:\WINDOWS" In reality, it wasn't finding php.ini at all, as I hadn't created one yet. Reproduce code: --------------- Put PHPIniDir into httpd.conf, and have no php.ini file anywhere that PHP can find. Expected result: ---------------- I expected phpinfo() to tell me "C:\php" was the directory it had TRIED to find php.ini in. And without php.ini in there, I'd know that I needed to put php.ini in "C:\php" Actual result: -------------- phpinfo() is telling me that it is looking in "C:\WINDOWS" for the php.ini file, despite my PHPIniDir setting. So I spent a lot of time trying to figure out why my PHPIniDir setting was not taking effect. It *was* taking effect, but PHP's search ended up in C:\Windows in desparation, and phpinfo() output made me believe I hadn't set PHPIniDir, rather than I hadn't copied a php.ini file yet. I realize this is pretty picuyane, and that php *DOES* search in multiple places for php.ini But if httpd.conf is specifically configured to search for php.ini with PHPIniDir, I believe phpinfo() output should reflect that setting, even if php.ini isn't there yet. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39762&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39762&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39762&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39762&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39762&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39762&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39762&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39762&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39762&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39762&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39762&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39762&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39762&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39762&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39762&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39762&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39762&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39762&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39762&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39762&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39762&r=mysqlcfg
