#43598 [Opn]: Patch for Bug #41561 breaks ini_set()

ID: 43598 User updated by: birne at 007mail dot de Reported By: birne at 007mail dot de Status: Open Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Operating System: irrelevant PHP Version: 5.2.5 New Comment: By the way Bug #43378 mentions the same issue but calls it a "Documentation problem". In my opinion this is a bug.

But the documentation on this problem doesn't assure me if this is a bug or a feature! </quote> Unfortunately, his question was neither discussed nor answered. Also I disagree that is should not be possible re-setting the value of a INI_ALL configuration directive with ini_set(). According to http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.php PHP_INI_ALL means "Entry can be set anywhere". In my opinion this mutually includes "Entry can be changed anywhere". Currently setting e.g. the include_path using ini_set('include_path', ..) or set_include_path(..) will fail when there is a php_admin_value include_path directive in the apache configuration. The include_path is a PHP_INI_ALL directive. Reproduce code: --------------- Set in apaches https.conf php_admin_value include_path .:/usr/share/php:/server/wide/libs/ and the run if (!set_include_path(get_include_path().PATH_SEPARATOR.'local/libs/')) { echo 'set_include_path() failed'; } else { echo get_include_path(); } Expected result: ---------------- .:/usr/share/php:/server/wide/libs/:local/libs/ Actual result: -------------- set_include_path() failed ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43598&edit=1
