Doc #49189 [Com]: mbstring.func_overload can not be changed out of php.ini

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=49189&edit=1 ID: 49189 Comment by: lars dot schultz at toolpark dot com Reported by: syu at pss dot com Summary: mbstring.func_overload can not be changed out of php.ini Status: Closed Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.3.0 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: What is the reason for this BC-Break? I don't understand why PHP_INI_PERDIR-Support was removed. There was nothing about in the changelog. This is a crucial setting for us and suddenly it just stops working...not even a warning!

Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-09-11 06:08:26] svn@php.net Automatic comment from SVN on behalf of torben Revision: http://svn.php.net/viewvc/?view=revision&revision=288256 Log: Note that mbstring.func_overload is once again PHP_INI_SYSTEM only. Addresses bugs #49238, #43227, and #49189. This really should have been mentioned in the release notes for 5.2.7 and 5.3.0. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-07 09:40:05] jani@php.net Obviously the documentation is wrong, it's PHP_INI_SYSTEM in sources since fix of bug #43227 for PHP 5.2.7. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-07 08:35:15] syu at pss dot com Description: ------------ For the link:http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ini.list.php, the variable "mbstring.func_overload" is set to PHP_INI_PERDIR. But actually, we can not change its value except php.ini. I trid to change its value in httpd.conf, .htacces or ini_set(). But none of above succeeded. Reproduce code: --------------- I made one sub-directoy "test" in Apache HTMLRoot direcotry. The related configureation in httpd.conf is as below: <Directory "/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/test"> php_value mbstring.func_overload 7 php_value mbstring.encoding_translation On AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> In the file "index.php" of the "test" sub-directory, I wrote the following code: <?php echo 'the value = '.ini_get('mbstring.encoding_translation')."</br>"; echo 'the value = '.ini_get('mbstring.func_overload')."</br>"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- the value = On the value = 7 Actual result: -------------- the value = On the value = 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=49189&edit=1
