I think that's a good one. I assign it to me so that we don't forget about that one.

David, what's the status about this one? Should it not be for all SAPI instead?
 [2009-05-04 18:19 UTC] sriram dot natarajan at gmail dot com 
how does this work ? will this need to be ported all the sapi's currently supported by PHP or can it be on a user request basis ? for, example - i can provide the patch for ISAPI ? will that help ? 

For NSAPI, lot of things are broke as is. for example, php ini dir itself does not work with recent version of sun web server. I plan to  file a separate bug for NSAPI and can provide a separate patch to address this issue for nsapi.  

I don't have lot of experience with thttpd or roxen. Does this patch need to be ported to those SAPI's as well ? are these SAPI's actively used by the community ?

for the record: passing PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR through SetEnv from apache confid doesnt 
work: the environment variable will be there(at least by phpinfo()), but the "Scan 
this dir for additional .ini files" will be empty.
on the other hand, if you set/export an environment variable in the shell where 
you start the apache afterwards, that does work.
so for now, one can set this option "runtime", but it would be a nicer solution, 
if the apache SetEnv would work, or if the patch would be merged, so we would have 
an apache directive called PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR.

i believe, with my initial patch the idea was that introduce a directive like PhpIniScanDir within httpd.conf so that this can scan a directory.

Sriram, sorry for totally having forgotten about that patch. I think we might be 
able to add it to 5.5.0 if someone pushes for it. I yet have to test if the patch 
works with 5.5.0
 [2014-06-05 17:40 UTC] tyrael@php.net 
the links to the patch did not work anymore, I've found it on web.archive.org, attaching it now.
for the record this still applies cleanly (tested it on PHP-5.6)
