Thank you all for your collective help. I was very frustrated. This list helped me find the answer quickly and once again PHP is slowly all beginning to make sense. The default values enable safe-mode and that is what Jason was trying to get me to check. Thus when the php.ini wasn't where php thought it was then the engine just used the default values.
