Hi! We just noticed a major problem in the docs, and so we would like to invent a new name for php.ini settings.
Now look at http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.configure.php and http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php pages I am sure that it is confusing for people, to have two completely different sections, with names consequently starting with "config" [configuration and configure options]. We should invent another name for php.ini directives, eg. "settings" or some other word, that is easily distinquisable from "configure". I was also confused for some days when I first saw these two chapters (years ago ;). Yes, you can say, that we have a note on the configure options page, that these are compile time options. But there are many places, where we refer to "configure options", and "configuration directives" (yes, we use these two phrases for the two distinct things). Consider the massive base of Windows users, who even don't know what is configure, and what to do with configure options, while they are interested in php.ini settings. IMHO it is not corrent to name php.ini settings as "configuration directives", as we refer to them now... Is "setting" / "ini setting" / "ini directive" / "directive" the right name to use for php.ini directives, and "configure option" to use for configure options?
