#34136 [NEW]: php.ini path humbug

From: x2uk at compuserve dot de Operating system: w2k PHP version: 5.1.0b3 PHP Bug Type: *Configuration Issues Bug description: php.ini path humbug Description: ------------ What php.ini says : ; PHP looks for it ; - in the current working directory, ; - in the path designated by the environment variable PHPRC, and ; - in the path that was defined in compile time (in that order). That's humbug ! It was true for PHP502, though, but not PHP 5.1.0b3. I had to put that sodden file into the Windows dir. After that it was read the extension_dir set properly. Why the hell has php.ini to reside there again ? You had it right for PHP502 !!! Besides, one can install PHP w/i minutes !!! - provided you work & documentation wouldn't be so sluggishly wrong. Reproduce code: --------------- Installation PHP510b3 Expected result: ---------------- PHP510b3 ought to find php.ini in the directory where it resides itself - according to the documention w/i php.ini itself and according to php_manual_en.chm. Actual result: -------------- PHP510b3 won't find php.ini, as documented, and therfore the extension_dir will be wrongly set. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34136&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34136&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34136&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34136&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34136&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34136&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34136&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34136&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34136&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34136&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34136&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34136&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34136&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34136&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34136&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34136&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34136&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34136&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34136&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34136&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34136&r=mysqlcfg
