Description:
------------
I have just install php 5.3.2  All appeared to work well. I installed to c:\PHP folder. Then wrote a small .php test file (below) and tried it and the noticed that: 
The phpinfo() function is reporting php.ini file as being in the 'C:\Windows' directory.  It is actually located in 'C:\PHP' directory. I have searched my c drive and there is only one copy of php.ini and it is in the c:\PHP directory.  I assume it finds the php.ini via the path environment which now starts with c:\PHP.

I see other errors on my phpinfo():

include_path .;C:\php5\pear .;C:\php5\pear 
it's wrong: c:\php is my only php folder

Configure Command  cscript /nologo configure.js "--enable-snapshot-build" "--enable-debug-pack" "--disable-zts" "--disable-isapi" "--disable-nsapi" "--without-mssql" "--without-pdo-mssql" "--without-pi3web" "--with-pdo-oci=D:\php-sdk\oracle\instantclient10\sdk,shared" "--with-oci8=D:\php-sdk\oracle\instantclient10\sdk,shared" "--with-oci8-11g=D:\php-sdk\oracle\instantclient11\sdk,shared" "--with-enchant=shared" "--enable-object-out-dir=../obj/" "--enable-com-dotnet"  

I don't know why I have d:\ here, I don't have it.
Don't know too why it use oracle, I don't use it...



Test script:
---------------
<html>
 <head>
  <title>PHP Test</title>
 </head>
 <body>
 <?php echo '<p>Hello World</p>'; ?> 
<?php phpinfo(); ?> 
 </body>
</html>


Expected result:
----------------
C:\PHP


Actual result:
--------------
C:\Windows

No, PATH has nothing to do with how PHP finds php.ini.

You can either use the PHPRC (see http://www.php.net/configuration) or the -c argument in the command line (CLI or FastCGI) to specify another location. Check the "Loaded configuration file" to see which php.ini is actually loaded.

Secondly, the include_path or extension_dir are default paths, they are used when the loaded php.ini does not define any.

The other path inside the configure line has nothing to do with your setup but the options used to compile php.

Sorry, but I will bogus this report as well as it is clearly a configuration problem.

Ok, I agree that Configuration File (php.ini) Path is different that Loaded Configuration File. But why it want to use c:\windows as config file???? explain me...

for information PHPRC variable is correctly put on my system.

I can't install any php / mysql application for the moment, it don't works!.

for include_path, I see my error, sorry.

But the most important for me is why I have a c:\windows in php config path...

Again, it is a default location, see http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/246/using-fastcgi-to-host-php-applications-on-iis-7/ for a complete howto (or the php manual).
