If the term "include" is not a good keyword, I'm also happy to rework the patch to use any keyword the group prefers. "additional_ini" sounds good to me, and probably doesn't carry the other control-structure baggage.

I don't think that additional_ini carries any less control-structure baggage; If you can include various ini files using various statements in php.ini, it begs for adding control structures to perform this task selectively. I'm very much against it. It also doesn't make modular deployment that much easier - if you still have to add statements to the php.ini file in order to get it going. I think that a dynamic deployment directory makes good sense, I don't think it has a high wtf factor, and it doesn't push us anywhere towards needing control structures. It becomes a feature of PHP, instead of a feature of the php.ini syntax. It's something we can even set up during 'make install' with a default being /usr/local/etc/additional_php_inis or something like that. Zeev
