The following values are ignored from my php.ini file:

key: session.save_path
phpinfo() value: /tmp
php.ini value: I:/WINDOWS/Temp

key: register_globals
phpinfo() value: Off
php.ini value: On

The fact that PHP parses the correct php.ini is evidenced by the following:
1. There's only one php.ini on my system: I:\WINDOWS\php.ini
2. phpinfo() says: Configuration File (php.ini) Path = I:\WINDOWS\php.ini
3. My modified DOCUMENT_ROOT value is reflected by phpinfo()

With kind regards,
Bas Cancrinus

Could you please try

http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip

If that doesn't we'd need to know which web server api are you using (Apache, ISAPI, or cgi)? If you could post your php.ini somewhere would be helpful too.

Also be sure you're not editing a php.ini.ini file because windows by default hides many file extensions in which case php.ini.ini will look like php.ini in file explorer.  Sounds silly but it happens more than one would think.

I found the problem: the values of my php.ini that weren't picked up by PHP were edited with Notepad. I started over again with the php.ini-dist and a descent editor; all my changes are picked up now. I wasn't aware of the fact that PHP expects a consistent CR/LF pattern.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
