This way you can have different php.ini files for different versions of Apache on the same machine." <-- I'm using Windows 2000 Server, with Apache 2.0. I run PHP as CGI. I already have a php.ini (let's name it ini-A) in C:\Winnt, and it works fine. I tried to add a php.ini to the program files/apache group/apache folder. in this ini file (ini-B) i changed a directive: max execution time = 40 Within ini - A, this option has the value of 30. Now I run a script, which contains a single line: phpinfo(). I looked for the "max execution time" value, and it was 30!!!! I restarted the server, than the PC, but I got the same value.... within the general options from the returned phpinfo() table, the Configuration File (php.ini) Path has the value of "C:\WINNT\php.ini". Is it a bug, or I need to recompile my PHP? Or the above apache-ini file combination (to search first the apache install directory) works only on UNIX???? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27872&edit=1
