Bug #55706 [NEW]: php.ini directives will lock once they are used in a host specific section

From: Operating system: Windows XP SP3 PHP version: 5.3.8 Package: Dynamic loading Bug Type: Bug Bug description:php.ini directives will lock once they are used in a host specific section Description: ------------ PHP version: 5.3.8-ZS5.5.0 ini_set function returns false if the given directive is named in a host specific section. As the result, the directive's value is not changed. This bug is reproducible with other similar functions like set_include_path. Don't forget to restart your webserver before testing since this bug requires modifying php.ini file.

($result ? 'true' : 'false'); echo "<br />\n"; echo 'And current value for directive is: ' . ini_get('include_path'); Expected result: ---------------- Insert the following section into your php.ini file:<br /> <br /> [Zend]<br /> include_path=".;C:\Program Files\Zend\ZendServer\share\ZendFramework\library"<br /> <br /> [HOST=anything.com]<br /> include_path=".;C:\my_library"<br /> <br /> Executing: ini_set('include_path', 'C:\another_library')<br /> ini_set returned: true<br /> And current value for directive is: .;C:\another_library Actual result: -------------- Insert the following section into your php.ini file:<br /> <br /> [Zend]<br /> include_path=".;C:\Program Files\Zend\ZendServer\share\ZendFramework\library"<br /> <br /> [HOST=anything.com]<br /> include_path=".;C:\my_library"<br /> <br /> Executing: ini_set('include_path', 'C:\another_library')<br /> ini_set returned: false<br /> And current value for directive is: .;C:\my_library -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55706&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55706&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55706&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55706&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55706&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55706&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55706&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55706&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55706&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55706&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55706&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55706&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55706&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55706&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55706&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55706&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55706&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55706&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55706&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55706&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55706&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55706&r=mysqlcfg
