Re: avoiding PHP_SYSCONFDIR to be reset to c:\php4

I have yet another problem :-) If the user changes his php_dir so the registry changes, this will apply to PECL packages too. So if I install a package that has only a .so file, changing php_dir makes the installer forget about it. I really don't want to lose the "make your own pear installation" functionality, so moving everything to one, system-wide regsitry is not an option imho. I'd rather split the registry into one for each type of file (one in php_dir, one in ext_dir etc.) That would be consistent, but I'm not sure if it's practical. - Stig On Wed, 2002-05-29 at 08:25, Tomas V.V.Cox wrote: > Umm, I'm thinking on another problem.
