Description:
------------
I am using Apache server 2.2 and PHP 5.  I was able to turn on "display errors" in the php.ini file, but when I attemped to shut "display errors" off, i.e., "display_errors = Off," errors still display on the .php files.  I have restarted the server and computer.  Doing these things does not solve the problem.   

Reproduce code:
---------------
display_errors = Off

Expected result:
----------------
Errors won't display on the .php page.  

Actual result:
--------------
Errors continue to show on the .php page.

First of all: make sure your php.ini file is actually loaded. "display_errors" is On by default (IIRC) so if no php.ini (or wrong!) is loaded you'll see the errors. 

To check what php.ini was used: <?php phpinfo(); ?> and there's the information in the first block. Path where it's looked for and below that what file exactly was loaded.

The path for php.ini is C:\WINDOWS\php.ini.  I ran the phpinfo() function.  The path for php.ini appears to be correct.  However, the phpinfo output says, "Loaded Configuration File: (none)."  

How do I get php.ini to load, or get phpinfo() to read it and display it?

You need to put a file called "php.ini" in c:\windows\ 

This is not any bug, so please ask further support questions elsewhere.

Sorry for the confusion.  The php.ini file was placed in the windows directory.  I thought I had made that clear.  The phpinfo() is not reading it for some reason.  I restarted the server and computer.  Thoses acts did not solve the problem.  

There is definitely a bug.  I followed all instructions to the letter and then some.  Happy debugging.  :-)

Hi again, I figured out a solution that you might pass on.  The php.ini file should be placed in the following path: C:\PHP\php.ini.  Restart the server, and it WORKS!  c:\windows\ is the wrong directory to place the php.ini file in--at least for Windows XP.
