Hello, Here's the problem I had : Running php4b3 on a linux-box as an apache 1.3.11 module, phpinfo() displays all environment variables correctly, but get_cfg_var doesn't. We had a look at the code and discovered the following : *phpinfo calls php_print_info which calls display_ini_entries which calls zend_ash_apply_with_argument ( &known_directives, php_ini_displayer) *get_cfg_var calls cfg_get_string which calls zend_hash_find(&configuration_hash, varname) configuration_hash and known_directives are of type HashTable and are declared static in different files. The problem I see is that configuration_hash is not initialized if there's no php.ini file. And that's where my problem was. Yes, I know, I should have had one, but... Isn't it written in the source : return SUCCESS; /* having no configuration file is ok */ ?? ;-) Zeev, what do you think of this ? Would you consider a patch to change this behaviour, so that get_cfg_var returns the current value whatever a php.ini file exists or not ? Flavien Lebarbé. --- Open Care
