Re: new errors with 0.5.1 on Win2k & XP - DOH

Hi, yes, they changed the behaviour. I found myself using php.exe -c . <phpscript> most of time, i.e. having a php.ini in the current directory with the relevant configuration. PHP CLI is still not up to the task of a full shell application. Outstanding issues are e.g. reading a PHP.INI from a user directory (e.g. ~/.php.ini on unix, or whatever). - Markus On Wed, May 01, 2002 at 10:03:18AM -0700, Frank M.
