Removing of PHP_INI_PERDIR proposed (Was: setting PHP_INI_SYSTEM config. variables in VHost sections (bug 20009))

Me wrote: -> I found out that it is not possible with current php stable version (4.2.3) -> to define some configuration variables per virtual host - e.g. -> upload_tmp_dir. -> The upload_tmp_dir is masked ad PHP_INI_SYSTEM which allows changing -> php_upload_dir in php.ini or in httpd's main config - not in VHost config, -> which makes me unable to use different directories for each virtual web. -> I think that is very bad. -> The definition of PHP_INI_PERDIR allows changing variables in VHost sections -> or in .htaccess files. I don't understand this - users are usually able to -> configure .htaccess, which would allow them to overwrite settings in VHost -> section of httpd's config. -> I work with Apache, and with other http servers the situation can be -> different (any way I would wonder as long this is a policy-problem, not -> implementation problem). -> Therefore I propose a change: -> PHP_INI_SYSTEM variables should be allowed to change by admin - in -> system-wide php.ini or httpd.conf, no matter if it's VHost or not. -> PHP_INI_PERDIR would be then made useless and .htaccess things can be -> checked with PHP_INI_USER. Either nobody read it, ot nobody has any comments. Could then PHP_INI_PERDIR be removed and all settings moved to PHP_INI_SYSTEM or PHP_INI_USER ? -- Matus "fantomas" Uhlar, uhlar@fantomas.sk ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I don't wish to receive spam to this address.
