php doesn't set up its known_directives hash properly before reading
php.ini. as a result, php.ini doesn't set any values. this has the
effect of making things like document_root and extensions_dir not work. 

here's a patch that changes the setup order and removes a circular
dependency in the known_directives initialization:

some more clarification: because modules are loaded in the config file
parsing stage, the lack of extensions_dir was causing problems. the
previous patch had too many side effects and looked like it was going
to take too much trouble to get right. as module loading is the
only thing that needs real values, here's a simpler patch that just deals
with that case:

The bug description is bogus, and the fix isn't quite valid either.

There was a bug in PHP 4.0.0 that did prevent extension_dir from working properly, which was in fact related to the new INI mechanism (it was being misused).  It's been fixed in 4.0.1, and was unique to that directive, that's supposed to affect PHP's behavior while reading the php.ini file itself.

There were separate bugs that prevented doc_root from working properly under some circumstances, which have been fixed in 4.0.1 as well.

However, the INI code as it was in 4.0.0 is correct.

At any rate - thanks for the bug report!
