Re: PHP.ini problems

He already stated that he used phpinfo(); and it was looking in c:\winnt. as to your question.... im not really sure. I think there's a way that you can tell PHP to use a certain ini file, im not sure though. Double check to make sure you used the php.ini-dist and not the optimized one. Had that happen to someone at work here ;) Jason "Justin Garrett" <usjgarrett@byu.edu> wrote in message news:20011101025042.97416.qmail@pb1.pair.com... > Use phpinfo() to see where PHP is looking for its config file. > > -- > Justin Garrett > > "Harry Blohm" <hcbl2k@qwest.net> wrote in message > news:3BE0A44F.E451B4B3@qwest.net... > > Hi, > > > > I'm running PHP4.06 on win2k server.. and PHP seems to work fine. > > I'm running a Vbulletin and that mostly works like a pro.
