Description:
------------
I have a Windows 2000 web server that is using IIS, as well as a SMTP virtual server.

I have updated the "sendmail_from" option within the php.ini file, and the server has been restarted numerous times. 

PHP is installed within the "C:\php" directory.

For some reason, the phpinfo() file shows the PHP configuration path as "C:\winnt", despite the fact that I have added the ";c:\php" directory within the server's environment variables (the one for PATH). Also, the "sendmail_from" area shows "no value", although the php.ini file does not reflect this.

I have searched everywhere and cannot resolve this. Why is PHP failing to recognize the PHP.ini file?

Reproduce code:
---------------
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = [client name]@[client domain].com

The configuration path shown in phpinfo() is where PHP looks for php.ini. PHP does not use the PATH environment variable to find php.ini. I know there's an Apache configuration directive PHPIniDir to change the path, but I don't know if there's an equivalent for IIS. The list of places that PHP looks for php.ini can be found in the manual: http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php#configuration.file
