Bug #67389 [Com]: document PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67389&edit=1 ID: 67389 Comment by: aneece at gmail dot com Reported by: tyrael@php.net Summary: document PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR Status: Open Type: Bug Package: *Configuration Issues PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: While the general behavior is indeed documented at that link (http://php.net/manual/en/configuration.file.php#configuration.file.scan), it does not mention that the capability to handle multiple directories is only available from 5.5.10, as tyrael requested. Instead, the text makes it sound like any version after PHP 5.2.0 can accomplish this, since that is the only time a version is mentioned in that block. It would be great if that page could get a slight update. Or you could even just add it to the Changelog section of that page. Either way, it'd be a big help. Thanks!

This can then be used to load a bunch of additional INI files at runtime, while preserving all globally configured INIs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-06-05 18:03:56] tyrael@php.net Description: ------------ we should document that the additionally loaded ini files directory(which can be set via --with-config-file-scan-dir when compiling) can be changed by the PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR environment variable (maybe mention the stuff like SetEnv PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR /tmp won't work, but exporting the PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR env var from the apache startup script will). we should also mention that listing multiple directories is supported since 5.5.10: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66574 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67389&edit=1
