If PHP can't find a php.ini file, it uses the defaults set up when it was compiled, and the same values as if it had found the default php.ini file that comes with the distribution. > since its able to load extensions even though, according to phpinfo, > it's trying to find extensions in directories that don't even exist! The extensions it is finding or not finding in the directories that do or don't exist are pre-set by compiled-in default-values-for-no-php.ini values. Windows being windows, DLLs that live "next to" php.exe (or the php4ts.dll or whatever the hell it is) may be automagically "found" by the Windows OS... At least, that's how I've understood Windows to work... Actually, with the DLL setup, I guess it would find any DLLs sitting in the same directory as apache.exe... You could drive yourself crazy trying to figure out which software (PHP/Apache/OS) is looking for what where. > I've added both php's directories into my PATH enviroment variable in > windows, I've added SetEnv PHPRC C:/php in httpd.php4.conf (obviously > the apache conf file for php4) and that does nothing for PHP4.

The setting for C:\WINNT is compiled into the PHP binary (.exe or .dll) and that's pretty much where you need to put php.ini if you want it to work... Though if you get that SetEnv thing working, and it's a documented feature, more power to you. > nothing of PHP's files inside any windows directory, no dlls, no ini > files, nothing.

Again, that might be Windoze "finding" the DLLs more than PHP -- There is a whole set of rules for Windoze and DLL loading and whatnot that I've long purged from my brain. I think it's even documented somewhere on Microsoft's site... Good Luck! > Any help anyone could offer would be GREATLY appreciated, With any luck at all, your php5 install is looking for php.ini in a different directory... Use phpinfo() to determine where it thinks the file should be. PS: phpinfo() will output something 'odd' when there is no php.ini file to be found as opposed to when it found one in the directory where it looks. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
