#39834 [NEW]: PHP not recognizing php.ini changes

From: nicole at antfarminteractive dot com Operating system: Windows 2000 PHP version: 5.2.0 PHP Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Bug description: PHP not recognizing php.ini changes Description: ------------ I have a Windows 2000 web server that is using IIS, as well as a SMTP virtual server. I have updated the "sendmail_from" option within the php.ini file, and the server has been restarted numerous times. PHP is installed within the "C:\php" directory. For some reason, the phpinfo() file shows the PHP configuration path as "C:\winnt", despite the fact that I have added the ";c:\php" directory within the server's environment variables (the one for PATH). Also, the "sendmail_from" area shows "no value", although the php.ini file does not reflect this. I have searched everywhere and cannot resolve this. Why is PHP failing to recognize the PHP.ini file? Reproduce code: --------------- [mail function] ; For Win32 only. SMTP = localhost smtp_port = 25 ; For Win32 only. sendmail_from = [client name]@[client domain].com -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39834&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39834&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39834&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39834&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39834&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39834&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39834&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39834&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39834&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39834&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39834&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39834&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39834&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39834&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39834&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39834&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39834&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39834&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39834&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39834&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39834&r=mysqlcfg
