Req #62797 [NEW]: Add a CLI parameter to override php.ini settings for a web server instance

From: mathias at qiwi dot be Operating system: OS X 10.8 PHP version: 5.4.6RC1 Package: Built-in web server Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Add a CLI parameter to override php.ini settings for a web server instance Description: ------------ During development, it can be useful to override certain php.ini settings for specific server instances (using the PHP built-in web server). 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 bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62797&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62797&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62797&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62797&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62797&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62797&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62797&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62797&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62797&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62797&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62797&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62797&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62797&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62797&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62797&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62797&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62797&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62797&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62797&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62797&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62797&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62797&r=mysqlcfg
