This but just passed it's 10th anniversary!  How about we celebrate by getting it fixed?

I have the same issue on Windows 10 x64 using the Apache 2.4.41 x64 and the fcgi module.  I've
tried pretty much all the php versions both Thread Safe and Not.  I've tried about every
combination of everything I could possibly change.  

I'd really like to see this fixed because PHP on windows actually works pretty good now...
other than this.

I have the same problem.

If I put .user.ini file into www root.
http://localhost/ -> ini_get('upload_max_filesize')
result is 10M (override value)
http://localhost/test ->
ini_get('upload_max_filesize') result is 10M
http://localhost/test/lv2 ->
ini_get('upload_max_filesize') result is 10M
http://localhost/test/lv2/lv3 ->
ini_get('upload_max_filesize') result becomes 2M which is php.ini value and this folder
has no .user.ini file.
These are not in virtual directory.

I have the same problem here, with php 5.3.29, 5.4.38, 5.5.22 and 5.6.6 

Configuration on linux with Apache 2.4.12 and mod_proxy_fcgi and PHP-FPM configuration:

# This is to forward all PHP to php-fpm.
<FilesMatch \.php$>
 SetHandler "proxy:unix:/path/to/.socks/php-domain.sock|fcgi://domainname/"
</FilesMatch>

The .user.ini directives apply only in the same folder as the php file and not in the subfolders.

Some phpinfo:

Server API: FPM/FastCGI 
_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] is correctly set to the virtualhost DocumentRoot

I didn't have this problem when working with mod_fastcgi using FastCgiExternalServer directive.

Same problem on Win7 with apache 2.4.10 X86 (the one from apache haus and the one from Apache
Lounge) and php 5.6.0, php 5.5.16 or php 5.3.29 all in fcgi mode.

php configurations defined in .user.ini only apply to the folder where .user.ini is. Not subfolders.

> /www/phpinfo.php -> take into account the /www/.user.ini
> /www/administrator/phpinfo.php -> take NOT into account the /www/.user.ini

Just found out: The same problem exists in PHP 5.3.6-NTS-VC9; Apache/2.2.19 (CGI setup); Windows 7
32bit

Even I can read in the manual:
| In addition to the main php.ini file, PHP scans for INI files in each
| directory, starting with the directory of the requested PHP file, and working
| its way up to the current document root

I have a DOCUMENT_ROOT = "D:\Webserver\Apache2.2\htdocs"
And the files:
D:\Webserver\Apache2.2\htdocs\.user.ini
D:\Webserver\Apache2.2\htdocs\phpinfo.php (working)
D:\Webserver\Apache2.2\htdocs\test\phpinfo.php (not working)

Regards,
Carsten

Thanks Pajoye for your fast answer.
I really hope you can fix it ! :)

Yes htscanner is an alternative solution, i never try it. I prefer rely on PHP itself. And htscanner
is in alpha stage and last release is more one year old, i mean for system in real production it is
necessary to have stable version. Htscanner seems ok for leisure purpose but I will not use it for
bussiness application.
