Did the PHPRC environment variable help or not?

While I do agree with you that this is a pain, there is a possible solution assuming 
that you can set environment variables on your machine.  Set PHPRC to the path where 
the php.ini file is.  Then PHP will look there instead.

I've been running PHP with this:
http://www.php.net/do_download.php?download_file=php405-installer.exe&source_site=www.php.net


Basically, I have a problem with the placement of your php.ini. I would have thought, 
hoped it would run from the php directory as well as the windows directory. This is 
standard Windows protocol. A windows *.exe "normally" prioritises looking in the app 
directory and then in the windows directory for the location of *.ini files.

 Your Msvcrt.dll was installed in my network drive: t:\php\ and works like a charm; so 
should the php.ini!.

My at-work installation of windows is NT Server based and I don't have permissions to 
access D:\ntdir where NT was installed. I'm running a http microweb out of a separate 
directory and hoped to make use of PHP at work. I can't because I can't put the php in 
the windows directory. It won't work in my network drive: t:\php\php.ini
While my case may or may not be non-standard, your port to windows lack in basic *.ini 
protocol. It "should" look in the app directory to see if the ini exists there too!
