Thanks for your response!
In my Linux builds, I do use '--with-config-file-scan-dir=' and, in Windows, I 'set
PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR'. The point I was attempting to make is that opcache.file_cache should behave
the same as the other ini path options when drive letterless paths are supplied.
I have no knowledge of PHP's internal workings so 'defaulting to the drive PHP is
running' was merely an assumption aimed at illustrating how those options behave when such
values are given. The benefit of my request would mean one less option in environment specific ini
files as they all could share the value in my global (included by all) php.ini file.

"default to the drive which the PHP binary is running" is a adventurous conclusion just
because *normally* relative paths are not defaulting to drives *but* to the current working
directory and that is a dangerous thing for systemdwide paths
"managing identical PHP installs across Windows and Linux" should be done with don#t put
anything system specific at all in php.ini - that's what
"--with-config-file-scan-dir=" is all about and that options belong in a include file
there
what you are asking is a dirty workaround for bad systems management - see the paragraph above

Description:
------------
opcache.file_cache should not require drive lettered paths.
There are several ini path options that do not require drive letter prefixes in their values. The
few that I am aware of include:
error_log
extension_dir
sys_temp_dir
upload_tmp_dir
session.save_path
The impementation of each of the settings above are 'smart' enough to default to the drive
which the PHP binary is running. This flexibility is appreciated when managing identical PHP
installs across Windows and Linux as it minimizes the number of exclusive ini options (in separate
files) required to maintain both.
Test script:
---------------
opcache.file_cache=/WAMP/php/ini
Expected result:
----------------
Opcache should not fail and default to C:/WAMP/php/ini in Windows or /WAMP/php/ini in Linux. The
drive letter (in Windows) should default to the drive the PHP binary is currently running in.
Actual result:
--------------
Fatal Error opcache.file_cache_only is set without a proper setting of opcache.file_cache
