ID: 39834 Updated by: bjori@php.net Reported By: nicole at antfarminteractive dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Operating System: Windows 2000 PHP Version: 5.2.0 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-12-15 13:48:46] smlerman at gmail dot com The configuration path shown in phpinfo() is where PHP looks for php.ini. PHP does not use the PATH environment variable to find php.ini. I know there's an Apache configuration directive PHPIniDir to change the path, but I don't know if there's an equivalent for IIS. The list of places that PHP looks for php.ini can be found in the manual: http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php#configuration.file ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-12-14 19:24:57] nicole at antfarminteractive dot com 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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39834&edit=1
