How this could be useful?

I work for a company that is moving towards PHP. We have our own package system for installing software, something like FreeBSD ports. I am the one that builds the PHP dso package. The PHP package could/will be installed on tens of thousands of servers so it is bare bones build. The PHP package installs a default php.ini file with our company defaults. When somebody needs an extension we create another package of a phpize, configure, make process build of that extension. When installing/removing the extension package it automaticly adds/removes the extension line in the php.ini and restarts apache. With more and more extension, extensions that need more then just a one line added to the php.ini and our security team request it would be a lot easier to have a include_ini_dir (include_ini make sense, but less useful to us). With a default php.ini file that looks like this: ----- [PHP] include_ini_id = include ----- With this we can install 3 .ini files into the include directory for the base install. One engineers can change, one engineers can change but should have a good reason and one that if engineers change our security team will beat them with a big stick. This also helps when installing/removing extensions because we could just add/remove a .ini file in the include directory instead of editing the php.ini Make sense? Brian
