PHP 4.0 Bug #9406: if you don't have PHPRC set, php will try to load /php.ini

From: hps@intermeta.de Operating system: all OS PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: *Configuration Issues Bug description: if you don't have PHPRC set, php will try to load /php.ini PHP tries to load a config file called "/php.ini" if you don't set the PHPRC environment variable. This is due to a bad path composition in php_ini.c The environment definition is left empty and later, there is a "/php.ini" tacked on unconditionally. This may lead to undesired behaviour if root has its home not in /root but in / (as with some older OS).
