Feel free to do it :)

this isn't going to be a big task, i'll put it onto my todo.

It's already done, been there for a long time. php.ini values are configurable via registry, and can be done on a per-domain basis. It is kind of a pain to deal with configuration that way though.

i'm not talking about the per directory stuff, these are mostly non php.ini settings. things like PEAR_INSTALLDIR, PHP_BINDIR etc should be stored in the registry IMO. daniel

Well, the specific example I saw was the extension dir, which is an ini setting. I would argue that pear_installdir could also be an ini setting. bindir does need some solution outside the ini file, maybe, but I think there could be some way to work around that. The reason I am *kind of* arguing against using the registry for these is due to having multiple installations of PHP. I currently have 6, 5 installs and my compiled version, so that I can test things. Dealing with php.ini in that situation is bad enough, adding registry configuration on top of that will make it even a bigger pain.

one could use the version string as a subkey, this would enable you to use different php.inis for different versions. daniel /*-- Daniel Beulshausen - daniel@php4win.com Using PHP on Windows? http://www.php4win.com
