Are you restarting Apache (or whatever webserver you're using) between
edits to php.ini? I assume since you also posted this to php-win that
you're using Win32. This would be my first step if you haven't done so
already.
I got corrected on this before, saying that you -don't- have to restart
between edits, but trust me, you do. I made changes to php.ini, saved,
and no changes were noted until AFTER I restarted Apache. Apache does
parse php.ini on startup because I entered invalid pathnames in various
places as a test, and only on restart did I get a notice that the
pathnames were invalid.
I'm using Win32, PHP v4.1.2 as a module (not CGI), Apache 1.3.something.
