Description:
------------
Using 'php_admin_value browscap [path to browscap.ini]' in httpd.conf does not set the value of 'browscap'. It of course does set the value of 'browscap' correctly if it is set in php.ini directly. 

This is considered a bug to me because we have a number of virtual hosting customers for whom we would like to be able to specify the value of browscap for their individual sites. 

As evidenced by a number of other closed bugs, Apache will in fact segfault in the event that 'php_admin_value browscap ...' is set in httpd.conf. 

For this to work properly imho, 'php_admin_value browscap' should be allowed in httpd.conf so that it can be turned on and off for different sites and so different users can use different browscap.ini files.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?

$USERAGENT = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
echo "<h3>$USERAGENT</h3>\n"; flush();
$brow_obj = get_browser($USERAGENT);
echo "brow_obj=$brow_obj\n<br>\n"; flush();
$browser = get_object_vars($brow_obj);
echo "browser=$browser\n<br>\n"; flush();
echo "<pre>\n"; print_r($browser); echo "\n</pre>\n"; flush();
echo "\n\nAGENT=$USERAGENT\n"; array_print($browser);
echo "\n(c=".$browser['crawler']." js=".$browser['javascript']." t=".$browser['tables']." css=".$browser['css'].")\n-->\n\n";
$WEBBOT=0;
if ($browser['browser_name_pattern']!='.*' &&
    ($browser['crawler']!="" || $browser['javascript']=="")) {
  $WEBBOT=1;
  if (!$nooutput) {
    echo "web bot or non-javascript browser: do not use javascript (c=".
      $browser['crawler']." js=".$browser[javascript].") -->\n";
  }
} elseif (!$nooutput) {  
  echo $browser['browser_name_pattern']." is not a web bot: ".
    "use javascript (c=".$browser['crawler'].
    " js=".$browser['javascript'].") -->\n";
}

brow_obj=Object

browscap can ONLY be set in php.ini. This will not change.

And FYI, only browscap.ini that works with PHP is found here:
