Is /etc/php.d a standard part of *every* php4 installation? Can I rely on it's existance? Is it's location a configuable option?
It is a distribution specific directory. Some uses it other not. The PHP releases (http://www.php.net/downloads.php) rely only on one php.ini, which is configurable.
Actually, there is also an option that allows you to scan a specific directory for ini files as well: --with-config-file-scan-dir=/etc/httpd/extra-ini
Something I'd like to see more distros make use of. I am not sure how to get the ball rolling on that though, but it makes packaging up extensions so much easier when all you need is to drop a foo.ini file in a directory instead of trying to modify a single ini file. -Rasmus
