#22011 [Opn->Csd]: php -n does not work as expected

ID: 22011 User updated by: holliwell@gmx.net Reported By: holliwell@gmx.net -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: linux RH 8.0 PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: To clarify my first submission: -n switch passed to the CLI scans this additional ini file(s) and uses the values found inside. easy to reproduce: let config-file-path be /etc let config-file-scan-dir be /opt/php origin /etc/php.ini sets register_globals off /opt/php/php.ini sets register_globals on php -n -r 'echo ini_get('register_globals') . "\n";' php -r 'echo ini_get('register_globals') . "\n";' yields the same results, shown that additional ini files are scanned, parsed and applied. Therefore it seems that -n has the only effect, that the php.ini in config-file-path is ignored, but additional ini-files are parsed and their values applied. Again: is this expected behaviour?
