Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Could I get a reason for this is not being a bug?

It certainly seems to be a regression from 5.0.5 unless this feature was previously unintended and now considered corrected.

Sorry, Could I get an explanation for this not being classed as a bug.

Unless I'm missing something the behaviour has changed from PHP 5.0.5 to 5.1.1.

As some background we runs sites using apache with suexec, with each site having a cgi-bin with a php executable (shell script wrapper) and a php.ini. When PHP is run as CGI is attempts to read php.ini in the cgi-bin directory, then the default php.ini location. This allowed per site php.ini settings, which no longer works with 5.1.1 because it doesn't attempt to read php.ini from the current directory.

It's not bug because it was never documented to behave like that.
