Description:
------------
According to this page 

http://us2.php.net/configuration

I should be able to run PHP4 and PHP 5.2.0 on the same system using PHPRC to set the PHP5 Path and Registry Entry  IniFilePath to set PHP4 Path.

This doesn?t seem to be working

My PHPRC System Variable is set to: c:\php5 and HKLM/Software/PHP/IniFilePath is set to: c:\php4

like this PHP4 tries loading php.ini from c:\php5, this is not what your document says should happen
 
If I remove the PHPRC Variable and just use IniFilePath I can move the php4 ini around the system with no problem

It?s only when the PHPRC Variable is present that php4 starts using PHPRC before the iniFilePath Registry Entry

I am using C:\php4\php.exe and C:\php5\php-cgi.exe

My System Enviroment PATH includes c:\php4;c:\php5

The docs are wrong.

So there is no way of stopping clients from putting php.ini in there webspace allowing them to override the global php.ini if your running both PHP4 and PHP5

HKLM/Software/PHP/IniFilePath is searched after PHPRC as written in the docs.
