PHP requires that all settings that are needed to have a value be set per-directory/per-host. In my mind, PHP should load the default configuration file (i.e. C:\Server\PHP\PHP5\php.ini) as well as the per-directory/per-host config file (i.e. C:\Server\Sites\Framework\php.ini), load the directives from the master file, and then override/replace the values for those directives from the child config file. Reproduce code: --------------- master php.ini: cgi.force_redirect = 0 doc_root = extension_dir = "C:/Server/PHP/PHP5/ext" Host php.ini: doc_root = "C:\Server\Sites\Framework" Expected result: ---------------- when phpinfo() executed: System Information --------------------------------------------------------------------- Loaded Configuration File(s): C:\Server\Sites\Framework\php.ini; C:\Server\PHP\PHP5\php.ini Directive Values --------------------------------------------------------------------- cgi.force_redirect: Local: 0; Master: 0; doc_root: Local: C:\Server\Sites\Framework; Master: no value; extension_dir: Local: C:/Server/PHP/PHP5/ext; Master: C:/Server/PHP/PHP5/ext Actual result: -------------- when phpinfo() executed: System Information --------------------------------------------------------------------- Loaded Configuration File: C:\Server\Sites\Framework\php.ini Directive Values --------------------------------------------------------------------- cgi.force_redirect: Local: no value; Master: no value doc_root: Local: C:\Server\Sites\Framework; Master: C:\Server\Sites\Framework extension_dir: Local: no value; Master: no value ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48031&edit=1
