RE: [PHP-DEV] Supporting version specific INI files as well as SAPI specific INI files.

It seems like it'll work long term and it does solve a problem we have today (and already went half way to solving it). > -----Original Message----- > From: Richard Quadling [mailto:rquadling@googlemail.com] > Sent: Monday, June 26, 2006 1:51 AM > To: internals@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP-DEV] Supporting version specific INI files as > well as SAPI specific INI files. > > Hi. > > First up, I use windows. > > Secondly, I would like to be able to use PHP5 and PHP6 > together at the same time as ISAPI rather than CGI. > > I can currently use PHP4 (CGI) and PHP5 (ISAPI) and I can use > different INI files for each (PHP4 uses php.ini, PHP5 CLI > uses php-cli.ini, PHP5 ISAPI uses php-isapi.ini) and all is well. > > In adding PHP6 to the mix, I have no way to create a separate > INI file for PHP6. > > My idea for extending the filename that PHP looks for to > include the major PHP version (from PHP 6 onwards) has not > had any response. > > Ideally. > > php.ini (for PHP4 as that is all there seems to be). > php-sapi.ini (for PHP5 as this is currently working). > php6-sapi.ini (for PHP6 and onwards as this is not yet > released and would actually benefit a LOT of windows users - > well, me only, probably). > > Add to that the fallback through the non versioned -sapi and > then to plain php.ini and everything is covered AND you have > the future under control too. > > PHP6-isapi.ini, PHP7-ispai.ini, etc. > > I'm on Window and I don't have MS Visual Studio or VC++, so I > am not able to compile the PHP source.
