In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better. Now -n will ignore all ini files.

"\n";' php -r 'echo ini_get('register_globals') . "\n";' yields the same results, shown that additional ini files are scanned, parsed and applied. Therefore it seems that -n has the only effect, that the php.ini in config-file-path is ignored, but additional ini-files are parsed and their values applied. Again: is this expected behaviour? Regards Friedhelm Betz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-03 05:12:54] edink@php.net -n switch should also ignore ini files defined --with-config-file-scan-dir. Re-opening. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-02 19:07:49] holliwell@gmx.net This switch is not documented so far and if this is not a bug but expected behaviour let it be at least a doc problem;-) Regards Friedhelm Betz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-02 18:51:40] helly@php.net Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.
