it's very usefull to have possibility in large php installation (many apache instance with many differente configuration, in module loaded and parametter...) to have the possibility to split for each php instance the php configuration in differente files...
the --with-config-file-scan-dir configure option is very usefull but it hardcoded in php binary... and the possibility to dynamicly modify the directory or to add include parametter in php.ini is very usefull! is why when i've packaged php for my company i've made a patch to add this fonctionality... Best regards, Mathieu _____ hi, i'have made similare patch to make possible to modify the hardcoded by autoconf configuration of scandir for additional ini by environement variable and/or by apache directive... i've used the same solution used with PHPRC env. and PHPINIDir... i've added PHPRCSCAN_DIR env. and PHPINISCANDir apache directive. i'm testing it... if i'm not found problem about it, i will go to push the patch here... Best regards, Mathieu
