Description:
------------
Sys Config : Windows Vista Home Premium / PHP 5.2.5 / Apache 2.2.8

The changed values in php.ini doesn't get reproduced thru phpinfo() even after saving the file to %WINDIR% with admin privs as suggested on some sites eg. extension_dir still shows c:\php5 although php installed in c:\php.
Is version 5.2.5 regression tested on the above env or is there some workaround available for above issue ?




Reproduce code:
---------------
settings in php.ini config

extension_dir = C:/php/ext/



O/P of phpinfo()

Directive	Local Value	Master Value
extension_dir	C:\php5	C:\php5
include_path	.;c:\php\pear	.;c:\php\pear
og_errors	Off	Off

Other changed values are also not taking effect at runtime like error logging being set to on to debug further.

Check in phpinfo() output _which_ php.ini file is actually loaded. This is no bug.
 [2008-04-03 13:37 UTC] anilb36 at hotmail dot com 
There is no variable _which_php.ini in phpinfo o/p.Can you pls elaborate. Is this a hidden sys variable like _FILE_ that i need to echo.

Have you checked and are sure that there is no php.ini load issue on Env => Windows Vista Home Premium / PHP 5.2.5 / Apache 2.2.8 ?
 [2008-04-03 14:12 UTC] jani@php.net 
For all users out there: phpinfo() has the information of actual used php.ini file, found in the very first block. "Loaded configuration file", below the "Configuration File (php.ini) Path".
 [2008-04-03 14:24 UTC] anilb36 at hotmail dot com 
Here is the relevant phpinfo() o/p

Server API 	                        Apache 2.0 Handler
Virtual Directory Support 	        enabled
Configuration File (php.ini) Path 	C:\Windows
Loaded Configuration File 	        C:\php\php.ini

It shows the correct values in here but doesn't load the values that
are in this file and ext dir still shows c:\php5 instead of c:\php\ext.Can you let me know where this c:\php5 is being picked up from ? That is the whole issue.I have also emailed you the local config and o/p if it makes sense.

I will check that again.

Issue reproduced with 

Windows Vista HP version: 6.0.6001
PHP: 5.2.10 
Apache 2.2.11

phpinfo() shows ./ for extension_dir.
The php.ini path is set correct and shown in phpinfo().
php.exe -i shows all paths correct.

It is not possible to load extensions based on this installation.
Could you recommend a workaround?
 [2009-06-19 22:56 UTC] pajoye@php.net 
I can't reproduce it. Have you installed other php (like with zend)? Some of them alters the registry as well.
 [2009-06-20 14:19 UTC] spamadd at aon dot at 
No, did not install any other php.
I unzipped the binaries for win32 copied the dlls and added the php dirs to the PATH variable. I load the php module in apache and that's it. PHP seems to ignore my php.ini.
Registry shows a .php3 entry in HKLM/Software/classes.

Any debug or workaround hints?
 [2009-06-20 15:54 UTC] spamadd at aon dot at 
Strange! 
I moved the php.ini into the /php/ directory and changed the PhPIni dir in the http.conf. 
I retested and the error was still there.

After that I processed phpinfo() via the commandline. 
There the extension_dir was correct.
Then I processed it via the webserver and there I saw the correct extension_dir.

It looked like processing phpinfo() via the command line has solved the issue.This is certainly a bug I guess!

Thanks for the help anyway!

Not a bug, config issue (and usage).
