Hello, 

This is my problem: For a few weeks now we're are using PHP and MySQL and everything is working fine. But a week ago, everything turned around (I don't know a exact time): all our PHP/MySQL-sites gave errors. So, I immediately connected to our dedicated server (Windows NT) where I searched for the php.ini file. The php.ini file was located in C:\winnt\ (this is the important one of course), but it was also located in c:\php\backup\ (I don't know the exact location, but I was sure in some backup-map in the PHP-directory. So, I searched php.ini (C:\winnt\) for the solution, I say that error_reporting was changed into E_USER_NOTICE (or E_USER_ERROR, I'm not sure). So, after this I changed it in E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE, the standard value, and everything worked fine again.

But I'm now curious about the cause of this strange situation. Is it a bug? I sure was not any of my collegues, as I am the only one that connects with the dedicated server. 

Looking forward to hear from you,
Nico Smit

PHP does not do this on its own, so the problem should lie elsewhere.
Not a PHP problem -> bogus.
