#46894 [NEW]: Syntax errors in php.ini go unnoticed

From: ilatypov at infradead dot org Operating system: Windows XP Pro PHP version: 6CVS-2008-12-18 (snap) PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Syntax errors in php.ini go unnoticed Description: ------------ I accidentally commented out a line in php.ini with a hash mark instead of a semi-colon. It appears that the php.ini parser does not raise an all-important alarm on this kind of error. I spent hours trying to understand why my changes to php.ini were not reflected in ini_get_all(). It would be nice if the php.ini parser threw a message about syntax errors to stderr.
