Instead the behavior should be properly documented. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-07-24 17:25:03] martin dot leucht at gmail dot com Just to mention: On my configuration (PHP 5.4.4, Win 7) at least the value for PHP_BINARY is correct. Maybe this helps to create a work-around. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-02-11 11:10:04] johannes@php.net rk, that is correct, but on non-Windows you usually don't relocate the installation. Either you install using your package manager or by compiling yourself with a proper prefix, everything else is unsupported. On Windows we have the installer (which defaults to c:\program files\php (system dependent)) and the zip where people almost certainly won't use c:\php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-02-11 08:30:04] rk at srsbiz dot pl It is not only Windows problem: root@core /# /root/src/php5.4-201202102030/sapi/cli/php -r 'echo PHP_BINDIR . PHP_EOL;'; /usr/local/php54/bin root@core /# It always point to directory provided in --prefix at compile time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-02-10 22:19:06] johannes@php.net This is defined while compiling PHP (prefix-option from compile.js), the way to fix this would be to do some run-time detection, not sure whether there's a proper way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
