However, when constructing the php_ini_search_path during *run* time, this constant is ignored, and instead the results of GetWindowsDirectory() and GetSystemWindowsDirectory() are added to the INI search path[1]. While in the most typical case either is C:\Windows, both may actually differ; thus, PHP_CONFIG_FILE_PATH must not be set to any hard-coded value during *build* time.
