php_ini_search_path

This line in main/php_ini.c has cost me an hour of headache: sprintf(php_ini_search_path, ".%c%s%c%s", ZEND_PATHS_SEPARATOR, env_location, ZEND_PATHS_SEPARATOR, default_location); I had an old php.ini file in the directory from which I was trying to start apache (/root), and all the wrong parameters would be loaded, despite the explicit config directive to look for the file somewhere else. Could the current directory be removed from the search path (I can't see any real use of it), or at least this behaviour documented so others don't run into the same kind of problems? Edin
