Doc #65878 [NEW]: Documentation does not say how to use env vars

From: doug65536 at gmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Documentation does not say how to use env vars Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/configuration.file --- There is a note, "Environment variables can be used in php.ini" Really? How? What is the syntax? Expected result: ---------------- I expected the documentation page for the configuration file to document the configuration file. Actual result: -------------- A bunch of details about where PHP looks for configuration files, and a crappy, simplistic example php.ini. The documentation explicitly states that you can use environment variables with absolutely no description for the syntax of such use. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65878&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65878&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65878&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65878&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65878&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65878&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65878&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65878&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65878&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65878&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65878&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65878&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65878&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65878&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65878&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65878&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65878&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65878&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65878&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65878&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65878&r=mysqlcfg
