Bug #20008 php_admin_flag clears variable if it can't be changed
Submitted: 2002-10-21 07:40 UTC Modified: 2002-10-28 09:51 UTC

upload_tmp_dir was set to '/clients/home/TMP' in php.ini
I tried to redefine it in <VirtualHost> section via php_admin_flag (I missed that it's not allowed) it was changd to 0.
I think that if a variable can't be changed in <VirtualHost> section, attempt to change it should not wipe it.

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

upload_tmp_dir is PHP_INI_SYSTEM.
PHP_INI_SYSTEM  Entry can be set in php.ini or httpd.conf (but not in VHost blocks in httpd.conf).

true, but that was not the reported bug

Oh well yes, it shouldn't change it at all. Anyone tried this with PHP-4.3.0dev?

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Actually <VirtualHost> can overwrite the php.ini settings. Your problem is that you are using php_admin_flag instead of php_admin_value when changing a string value. Since php_admin_flag expects On/Off or 0/1 bolean values the string value you provide gets converted to 0. Hence the 0 value for upload_tmp_dir.
