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

That would only solve that particular situation, what about multiple installations of the same version, or seperate configurations for the same installation? This is the reason I start to dislike the ini file all together. Shane
