I think that's a good one. I assign it to me so that we don't forget about that one.

David, what's the status about this one? Should it not be for all SAPI instead?
 [2009-05-04 18:19 UTC] sriram dot natarajan at gmail dot com 
how does this work ? will this need to be ported all the sapi's currently supported by PHP or can it be on a user request basis ? for, example - i can provide the patch for ISAPI ? will that help ? 

For NSAPI, lot of things are broke as is. for example, php ini dir itself does not work with recent version of sun web server. I plan to  file a separate bug for NSAPI and can provide a separate patch to address this issue for nsapi.  

I don't have lot of experience with thttpd or roxen. Does this patch need to be ported to those SAPI's as well ? are these SAPI's actively used by the community ?

for the record: passing PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR through SetEnv from apache confid doesnt 
work: the environment variable will be there(at least by phpinfo()), but the "Scan 
this dir for additional .ini files" will be empty.
on the other hand, if you set/export an environment variable in the shell where 
you start the apache afterwards, that does work.
so for now, one can set this option "runtime", but it would be a nicer solution, 
if the apache SetEnv would work, or if the patch would be merged, so we would have 
an apache directive called PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR.

i believe, with my initial patch the idea was that introduce a directive like PhpIniScanDir within httpd.conf so that this can scan a directory.

Sriram, sorry for totally having forgotten about that patch. I think we might be 
able to add it to 5.5.0 if someone pushes for it. I yet have to test if the patch 
works with 5.5.0

the links to the patch did not work anymore, I've found it on web.archive.org, attaching it now.
for the record this still applies cleanly (tested it on PHP-5.6)
