#21157 [Bgs->Opn]: when ini settings are changable needs to be further documented

ID: 21157 Updated by: philip@php.net -Summary: registry per directory entries ignored Reported By: petar@escape.net.au -Status: Bogus +Status: Open -Bug Type: IIS related +Bug Type: Documentation problem -Operating System: windows 2000 sp3 +Operating System: windows -PHP Version: 4.2.3 +PHP Version: 4.4.0-dev New Comment: Reclassified again :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-23 10:55:38] petar@escape.net.au Thank you for the pointer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-23 10:54:26] philip@php.net Assuming that 'registry per directory' is an option similar to .htaccess for IIS, it's worth mentioning that for example safe_mode is listed as PHP_INI_SYSTEM so it can be set in httpd.conf or php.ini but not .htaccess (or whatever IIS uses). You will notice at php.net/ini_set that some options are PHP_INI_SYSTEM|PHP_INI_PERDIR and some are PHP_INI_ALL, those can be set per directory. This 'when changable' information should be mentioned within every configuration description in the manual as opposed to only in the ini_set() docs. Or at least pointed somewhere. That said, am marking this as a documentation problem. Also note that equivelents for apache's httpd.conf and .htaccess should be mentioned somewhere too, not sure where (yet). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-23 10:43:13] iliaa@php.net http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php Contains a comprehensive list of ini settings and it tells you whether a particular ini setting can be set per directory or not. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-23 10:41:51] petar@escape.net.au Thanks for the comments but I lodged the report *after* reading anything relevant in the docs I could find. I could find nothing about the 'registry per directory' win32 registry functionality but it exists. Where would I find info explaining which php.ini options are accepted for this function? I would be happy to accept any specific pointers to relevant docs from more knowledgable people than myself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-23 10:34:19] iliaa@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Options such as safe_mode, expose_php, etc.. can only be set via PHP.ini and are NOT 'per directory'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
