For the archives: That's not quite 100% correct... If you've set PhpIniDirectory in Apache2, for example, and php.ini isn't in that directory, php will fall back onto looking for it in the default compile-in location, and then it will tell you in phpinfo() that it couldn't find php.ini in that compiled-in location, with no mention that it looked in the PhpIniDirectory as well... I spent about half an hour trying to figure out what was wrong with my httpd.conf because of this... Then threw php.ini into the directory and it worked just fine.
