The configuration is called "user_ini.filename", and it's default value is set to ".user.ini". Of course, your provider (or you, if you're the administrator of the php-instance) may changed this setting to something like "php.ini". Then the php-process will search for a "php.ini" file in the directories a user-ini file is searched in. When talking about configuration files, this may be misleading, as the basic configuration file is refered as "php.ini" over all in the documentation. I don't believe, that the PHP process would search for a file called "php.ini", if the value is set to something like ".user.ini" - if that's what you mean. It may be, that you can change the setting later on, but it will have no effect (f.e. if you change it using set_ini() ... if it doesn't trigger a E_WARNING or something the like). Hope this answers the remaining question. If not, I kindly ask you to write some examples. Bye, Simon
