Re: Can php select which ini file to use?

You can do things the hard way, or write a batch file that resembles this one: "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\Apache.exe" -w -n "Apache" -k stop if '%1' == '4.x' (

    copy C:\php4\php.ini C:\winnt\php.ini
    copy C:\php4\dlls\iconv.dll C:\winnt\system32
    copy C:\php4\dlls\php4ts.dll C:\winnt\system32
    copy "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\conf\httpd4.conf" "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\conf\httpd.conf"

) ELSE (

    copy C:\php5b3\php.ini C:\winnt\php.ini
    copy C:\php5b3\dlls\iconv.dll C:\winnt\system32
    copy C:\php5b3\dlls\php4ts.dll C:\winnt\system32
    copy "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\conf\httpd5.conf" "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\conf\httpd.conf"

) "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\Apache.exe" -w -n "Apache" -k start Just change the paths. You'll need to create the httpd4.conf and httpd5.conf files, and set up the correct addModule line, but that's really very easy to do. I use this system, and it works great.

Hi all, I've been playing around installing PHP5 (b3) tonight. I managed to get it running on my Windows XP Pro box as a Module, bar one thing. I have Zend Studio 3 installed which uses the Debugger and Profiler which adds a whole host of extra stuff to the php.ini file in the Windows directory. My question is this - is there any way to get PHP to use a different ini file? I need PHP4 and 5 on the same machine and have two Apache conf files and two short-cuts to start the one I need. PHP4 works perfectly and PHP5 works but I have to click through a whole bunch of warning dialogs first because of all the Zend extensions it's trying (but failing) to load.
