#28793 [NEW]: php.ini settings should be able to read other php.ini settings

From: bero at arklinux dot org Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5.0.0RC3 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: php.ini settings should be able to read other php.ini settings Description: ------------ This may not make a lot of sense at first look, but it makes perfect sense if you're using a CONFIG_FILE_SCAN_DIR and trying to install a number of 3rd party modules: php.ini settings should be able to reference other php.ini settings Example: [CONFIG_FILE_SCAN_DIR is set to /etc/php.d] /etc/php.ini has include_path=.;/usr/local/php-includes /etc/php.d/3rdpartymodule.ini has include_path=/opt/3rdpartymodule /etc/php.d/anothermodule.ini has include_path=/usr/local/anothermodule These are mutually exclusive --- to reduce the administrator workload of changing include_path for every 3rd party module (what CONFIG_FILE_SCAN_DIR was all about in the first place), it would be really nice if a 3rd party config file could just do include_path += /opt/3rdpartymodule or include_path = $include_path:/opt/3rdpartymodule -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28793&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28793&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28793&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28793&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28793&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28793&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28793&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28793&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28793&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28793&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28793&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28793&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28793&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28793&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28793&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28793&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28793&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28793&r=float
