Re: Q on echo phpinfo() ;

You may set the location of php.ini by using the PHPRC environment variable or during ./configure use the --with-config-file-path directive. Maybe you should just copy a php.ini into the directory PHP is looking for it in, which appears to be C:\WINNIT. If PHP was actually reading a php.ini, you would have instead seen it as C:\WINNIT\php.ini as opposed to just a directory path. So because no php.ini is being read, PHP is using all default values as per a stock php.ini-dist. http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.installation.php#faq.installation.phpini Regards, Philip On Sat, 5 Jul 2003, jsWalter wrote: > I ran this as a script from my Apache and it gave me a beautiful web page > just full of wonderful information! > > But I have a question on just 1 item... > > Configuration File (piping) Path C:\WINNIT > > How does this value get set? > > My PHP is installed at 'G:\etc\php' > > My php.ini is there as well. > > The paths are set (in that ini file) as... > > include_path = ".;G:\etc\php\extensions;G:\etc\php\pear" > > extension_dir = "G:\etc\php\extensions" > > Even My Apache is told to look there as well... > > # Windows Win32 version > > LoadFile "/etc/php/gnu_gettext.dll" > > LoadModule php4_module "/etc/php/sapi/php4apache2.dll" > > Action application/x-httpd-php "/etc/php/php.exe" > > ScriptAlias /php/ "/etc/php/" > > (pls don't comment about there being volume letters missing to this block, > > I want to focus on the issue of a path being defined from out of the blue) > > Is this being hard coded somewhere? > > If so, then why does my PHP work at all? > > I have nothing that belongs to PHP in the system directory. > > Well, not completely true. > > PEAR installed a pear.ini in the system directory itself (I wish it didn't, > > but my PEAR not working properly is a different issue.) > > Nothing I've read from the web or the documentation has given me any > understand on how this is set and why PHP file are needed in the location > that the says to place them. > > I guess, this is a question for the folks who wrote the executables for > Windows. > > Thanks for any help and enlightenment. > > Walter > > > > > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php >
