I found a BUG in this version of the windows PHP, apparently in the installer: PHP Version 5.2.6 (5.2 build 3790). We found the installation went fine on XP with this installer. BUT on windows 2003 (SP2)I found these values on the PHPINFO page after install: Configuration File (php.ini) Path: C:\WINDOWS Loaded Configuration File: (none) PHP had IGNORED my PHP.ini file which, as instructed by the install documentation, I had carefully placed in C:\WINDOWS I found it would only load my php.ini file if I placed it in C:\PHP5 (which is the default install directory). Once the php.ini file was in C:\PHP5, after restarting Apache, at last I see:- Loaded Configuration File C:\PHP5\php.ini quite a timewaster! :0) Reproduce code: --------------- install with Zip installer on windows 2003 (SP2) using install directory C:\PHP to reproduce the problem Expected result: ---------------- I would have expected Loaded Configuration File C:\WINDOWS\php.ini Actual result: -------------- Loaded Configuration File: (none) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46091&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46091&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46091&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46091&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46091&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46091&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46091&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46091&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46091&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46091&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46091&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46091&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46091&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46091&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46091&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46091&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46091&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46091&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46091&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46091&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46091&r=mysqlcfg
