note 57093 added to install.windows.iis

PHP 5, IIS 5, Win XP: One thing to note: if you run phpinfo() and the 'Configuration File (php.ini) Path' points to a directory and not the actual file (ie. C:\\windows instead of C:\\windows\\php.ini) this means that it is not using your php.ini file, it is using default settings. After spending hours searching forums the only thing that got it to work for me was to create a new environment system variable called 'PHPRC' and set it to the path where your php.ini is located (ie C:\\PHP) - simply adding C:\\PHP to the system path variable didn't do it. You have to reboot after this change of course. I'm not sure why this isn't more documented as from my searching there are quite a few people who experience this problem... hope this helps! ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.iis.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+57093 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57093&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57093&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57093&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57093&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57093&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57093&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57093&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+57093&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
