Ilija pointed out an already existing PR (https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/11351) which had been extensively reviewed. Its author never seem to have emailed the list, so here I am. I would like to see this in PHP 8.3, and don't see the need for an RFC. If there are no objects, I'll merge this in the next few days.

This would be a very welcome addition as configuring PHP via environment variables is (at least for me) very importing on serving fargate containers. Same questions ... Is it possible (like in bash) to escape the sequence in case you need the unparsed text for some reason? Does the opposite with :+ work as well?

    Example: auto_prepend_file="${PHP_DEBUG:+/path/to/init_debug.php}"

Is it possible to chain multiple :- (or :+) together? Anyway even without ":+" or chaining it would be a very good addition :+1: Thanks, Marc
