Of course, it’s possible to edit php.ini every time this is needed, (or use ini_set in the PHP code where applicable), but for small changes it would be very useful to just be able to specify the setting and its value as a command line argument/value pair. For example, to start a test server with a custom include_path setting (without overriding php.ini or changing the existing PHP code by adding ini_set() calls): php -S localhost:8000 --set "include_path=.:/foo/bar:/baz/qux" The syntax is just an example. Perhaps you’d prefer to do it a bit differently, and allow people to point to a project-specific php.ini file: php -S localhost:8000 --ini "./project.ini" However, I’d strongly prefer the first solution. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62797&edit=1
