Description:
------------
My configuration:

Win Xp Pro - Portuguese - Brazil
Apache 1.3.33 and 2.0.52 installed
Php 4.3.10 and 5.0.3

All installation are following the instructions from the manual  downloaded from http://www.php.net/docs.php and generated: Thu Apr 15 13:13:36 2004.

With apache 2.0.52, all configuration is working for php 4.3.10 and 5.0.3.
But in apache 1.3.33 isn?t.When i set "SetEnv PHPRC C:/Apache/php4" in httpd.conf of apache 1.3.33 to specify the dir where the php.ini is located, and start apache, the php is getting the default configuration and not the configuration specified in C:/Apache/php4/php.ini.
I search for this problem and in http://www.bazzinet.info/WebserverA.html i see that SetEnv PHPRC could not work in some cases and the same problem ocurried with others developers in http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=29694.
Wel...a temporary solution  that i found is put the file php.ini in apache dir, then php works with the configuration that i specified.
My doubts:
Is it a bug?
Why this occurrence isn?t related in documentation?
Is it a problem with php or apache 1.3.33?
Is correct, say that the "SetEnv PHPRC " will never work?
Exist other way to specify the dir where php.ini is?
