PHP 4.0 Bug #7175: "perdir" ini settings are not per dir

From: rick@eastcore.net Operating system: Linux 2.2.17 PHP version: 4.0.3 PHP Bug Type: PHP options/info functions Bug description: "perdir" ini settings are not per dir Given the apache (1.3.12) virtual hosts definitions: <VirtualHost 1.2.3.4> ServerAdmin webmaster@domain.com ServerName www.domain.com ServerAlias *.domain.com domain.com DocumentRoot /home/domain/htdocs ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/domain/cgi-bin/ php_value include_path /home/domain/phpinc php_value auto_prepend_file dom_prepend.php3 TransferLog /var/log/httpd/access_log.domain ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/error_log.domain </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost 1.2.3.4> ServerAdmin webmaster@network.net ServerName www.network.net ServerAlias network.net *.network.net DocumentRoot /home/rick/network/htdocs ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/rick/network/cgi-bin/ php_value include_path /home/rick/network/phpinc php_value auto_prepend_file net_prepend.php3 TransferLog /var/log/httpd/access_log.network ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/error_log.network </VirtualHost> both running a freshly compiled php3.0.4 (configure line: ./configure' '--with-apache=/usr/src/apache_1.3.12' '--with-mysql=/usr' '--with-xml') Virtual host network.net has the same 'include_path' and 'auto_prepend_file' settings as domain.com. These were systems that had no such problem prior to the upgrade (from 4.0.1pl2). I dug through the source for a few hours and decided that it is most likely to do with php_alter_ini_entry for ini values set to PHP_INI_PERDIR or PHP_INI_ALL in main/main.c, but I couldn't make headway beyond this. If this is true, this is a show-stopper for a lot of users. -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=7175&edit=1
