#39638 [NEW]: Configuring PHPIniDir causes error

From: huichunwuca at yahoo dot com Operating system: Windows XP Home Edition SP 2 PHP version: 5.2.0 PHP Bug Type: *Configuration Issues Bug description: Configuring PHPIniDir causes error Description: ------------ My php.ini file is located in c:/software/PHP. If I DO NOT specify PHPIniDir in Apache configuration file httpd.conf, my php page, which simply has a phpInfo() function, is displayed correctly except that "Configuration File (php.ini) Path" points to C:/Windows. There is NO php.ini file in C:/Windows. If I DO NOT specify PHPIniDir but php.ini file IS in C:/Windows, I got a blank page. If I DO specify PHPIniDir as follows: PHPIniDir "C:/software/PHP" Then I got a blank page -- unless php.ini file is NOT in C:/software/PHP I do not have any other php.ini file elsewhere and this is my first PHP installation ever on this machine. Reproduce code: --------------- httpd.conf -- only the lines I added LoadModule php5_module c:/software/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll AddType application/x-httpd-php .php #configure the path to php.ini PHPIniDir "C:/software/PHP" test1.php: <html> <head> <title>Example #1 TDavid's Very First PHP Script ever!</title> </head> <body> <? phpInfo();?> </body> </html> Expected result: ---------------- PHP module details. Actual result: -------------- A blank page if PHPInitDir is configured correctly An expected page with PHP module details if PHPInitDir is NOT configured and php.ini is NOT in C:/Windows -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39638&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39638&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39638&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39638&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39638&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39638&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39638&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39638&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39638&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39638&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39638&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39638&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39638&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39638&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39638&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39638&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39638&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39638&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39638&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39638&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39638&r=mysqlcfg
