When I set enviroment variable PHPRC=d:\php and put php.ini into this directory the php.exe acted as there is no php.ini file (I guess php.exe does not look into PHPRC). I tryed to set PHPRC=d:\php\ and PHPRC=d:\php\php.ini. It only works when php.ini is in %systemroot%.
SET command Command promt lists this: PHPRC=d:\php
so I know (I think) I set it right. Is there any solution?

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

On windows PHP 1st checks the current directory for existance of php.ini file. If the file is not found, it checks inside the %systemroot% directory. If the file is still not found that built-in defaults are assumed.

Re-Opening.

PHP does check for PHPRC in main/php_ini.c in php_init_config() and places it in the php_ini_search_path after the path of the executeable and before the systemroot path.

Please run the binary from http://guru.josefine.at/tmp/test.zip (make sure the exe and dll are in the same path, the zip has no subdirs) with tests something like that:

X:\apache\htdocs\bugs>c:\php\cvsdebug\php -v
*** debug: env_location[0] = ' '
*** debug: php.ini search path is 'c:\php\cvsdebug\'
*** debug: php.ini search path is 'c:\php\cvsdebug\'
*** debug: php.ini search path is 'c:\php\cvsdebug\;C:\WINNT'

X:\apache\htdocs\bugs>set PHPRC=c:\testest

X:\apache\htdocs\bugs>c:\php\cvsdebug\php -v
*** debug: env_location = 'c:\testest'
*** debug: env_location[0] = 'c'
*** debug: php.ini search path is 'c:\php\cvsdebug\'
*** debug: php.ini search path is 'c:\php\cvsdebug\;c:\testest'
*** debug: php.ini search path is 'c:\php\cvsdebug\;c:\testest;C:\WINNT'

If I place a php.ini in c:\testest then it's also shown in the phpinfo() output from "php.exe -i"

Maybe this is related to environment you're running PHP under.

Apache ? IIS ? CGI ? Module ?
