Description:
------------
The `-n` option for the CLI and FPM SAPI's is documented as simply:

    No php.ini file will be used

When used alone, this is correct, however I believe the true functionality would be better represented by a statement similar to the following:

    No default php.ini or additional configuration files (set by the --with-config-file-scan-dir configure option at build time or the PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR environment variable) will be loaded. Configuration files specified by the `-c` option *will* still be loaded.

Apparently, you are referring to the output of `php -h` shown in
the manual[1].  While this is not quite up to date, it certainly
wouldn't make sense to modify it arbitrarily.  Instead the output
of `php -h` should be changed in the first place.

Apologies for the incorrect category/type - I guess I assumed information in the manpage/`php -h` output (which is where I saw it first, not the online docs) came under 'documentation'.

Thanks for looking at this!
