Re: Bug #10598 Updated: Windows Protocol & ini file placement

Looking at the API I think I can do this. The only question I have is how do I tell from inside the code whether or not PHP is a DLL or an EXE? The function call has to be made differently depending on that information. Brian Moon ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dealnews.com, Inc.

I would have thought, hoped it would run from the php directory as well as the windows directory. This is standard Windows protocol. A windows *.exe "normally" prioritises looking in the app directory and then in the windows directory for the location of *.ini files. > > Your Msvcrt.dll was installed in my network drive: t:php and works like a charm; so should the php.ini!. > > My at-work installation of windows is NT Server based and I don't have permissions to access D:ntdir where NT was installed. I'm running a http microweb out of a separate directory and hoped to make use of PHP at work. I can't because I can't put the php in the windows directory.
