After installing PHP 4.3.0, some configuration directives in php.ini are ignored (extension_dir, post_max_size, arg_separator.input, etc.) according to phpinfo() output. I have changed asp_tags On and Off (every time with restarting of IIS 5.1) to ensure PHP loads correct php.ini file and it does. In PHP 4.2.3 all configuration directives are taken into account. So, I think, it can be a bug.

same problem with version 4.3.1-dev (XP, Apache 2)

all the directives are ignored from my php.ini file.
I have even deleted the php.ini file and phpinfo() still returned output - the default one.

Are you sure PHP is reading the correct ini file? What is the output of "Configuration File (php.ini) Path" from the result of phpinfo()?

...C:\Windows\php.ini. 

The whole output of phpinfo() I have sent to edinkATphpDOTnet. The problem of ignoring some php directives from php.ini appears only if I use "recommended" php.ini. If I use "dist" php.ini from 4.2.3 version in 4.3.0, all is OK, even I am using recommended directives.

I've been getting the same problem on NT4 with PHP 4.3.0.

PHP is installed in c:\program files\php

When setting extension_dir = c:/progra~1/php/extensions the extensions are loaded, but some configs are reset to default and php_info() reports extension_dir as "c:/progra"

If no extensions are loaded and extension_dir left as ./ then configs are loaded correctly.

I can't get it working for extensions, tried moving extensions to c:\exten etc, but no joy.  Maybe a bigger brain can sort it :-)

Work around: Stay in PHP 4.3.0 installation, just use php-dist.ini from PHP 4.2.3. You can modify php-dist.ini from 4.2.3 to be the same rules as RECOMMENDED php.ini. It works for me for months.

Does the extension_dir setting cause this?
 [2003-02-03 14:18 UTC] simon at haptick dot net 
Yip, if extension_dir is anything other than what's in php-recommend.ini, then a range of directives revert to default (session_save_path reverts to /tmp, php.ini is set to c:/temp etc)

stepan.rybar@taskforce.cz: Can you verify if what simon@haptick.net suggests is causing the problem for you too?
