IMHO, an ideal default is the path up to php.exe with a conf/php.ini
This would be a good default for unix/windows both, and maintain some
resembelence consistency with Apache if not anything else.
Then I could throw php.ini in the apache conf dir and php.exe would find it
there, w/o me having to tell it where.
If instead I have a c:\php or a c:\php4 I know a directory conf beneath
should contain the appropriate php.ini.
Also works well for /usr/local/php/conf/php.ini
or where ever php ends up.
Global .ini files can be difficult to manage if you've got mutiple versions
with different setting requirements. Or just "knowing" where to find the
damn thing.
