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 this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65878&edit=1
