New Comment:
This *is* bug (for MS), but also a "support issue" (for PHP). Turns
out that WinXP refuses to display the final ".ini" extension, even in
the "properties" display, the file-rename box, or the details list; my
file had actually been named "php.ini.ini", and all I could ever see at
all in any GUI was "php.ini" (except when I finally used the command
line prompt). Sorry for taking your time, but this is an extremely
subtle problem: perhaps the documentation could mention that the
renaming and name-checking must happen in the command prompt ("DOS"),
because otherwise there will be no error that the file wasn't found.
Take care!

OK, finally got it working: here's the top of phpinfo():
PHP Version 4.4.0-dev
System Windows NT localhost 5.1 build 2600
Build Date Dec 2 2002 04:12:18
Server API Apache
Virtual Directory Support enabled
Configuration File (php.ini) Path C:\WINDOWS
PHP API 20020918
Right below, it shows:
Directive Local Value Master Value
allow_call_time_pass_reference On On
allow_url_fopen On On
The file c:\windows\php.ini still has these entries:
allow_call_time_pass_reference = Off
allow_url_fopen = Off
So it looks like even the CVS snapshot is ignoring the php.ini file it
expects to see. Glad it doesn't want c:\winnt any more; that's an
improvement. But the "bug" (or "support issue") remains...

Please try using this CVS snapshot:
http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz
For Windows:
http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-latest.zip

I assume you mean what phpinfo() prints out in the table at the top
(I've clipped it here):
System Windows NT 5.1 build 2600
Build Date Sep 6 2002 10:38:51
Server API Apache
Virtual Directory Support enabled
Configuration File (php.ini) Path c:\winnt
Debug Build no
Thread Safety enabled
I'd be happy to try changing c:\winnt to some other directory, but I
have no idea how to, or where that is configured.

This is most likely another support question, but let's try help you
anyway: What is said by phpinfo() for where it's trying to read php.ini
from?

This is nearly identical to bug #20540, except I've got today's PHP
version (and I'm someone else!). I've got php on apache working,
phpinfo() says the configuration file path is c:\winnt (although
everything else on this system is in c:\windows, and I had to create
c:\winnt just to try and satisfy php).
But the php.ini in c:\winnt still isn't being read, as judged by a
couple changes ("allow_call_time_pass_referece" and "url_fopen" which
I've set to non-default values). Yes, I'm restarting Apache; yes, I'm
force-refreshing my browser; yes, I've verified there are no other
php.ini files on the machine. I've even tried inserting syntax errors
into php.ini, and moving it to the system32 directory or the c:\windows
directory... no luck. I can't make that file have any effect at all.
I've built and installed php a zillion times on Linux, and never had
this problem. And I *hate* Windows. But I have to make this work to
be able to use the gd extensions and image functions, and I'm pretty
sure this bug is NOT "bogus," since two of us are independently
reporting the same thing in the same week. Any suggestions?
