New Comment:
Can you please explain me HOW do you think should be posssible to do
it, assuming that an Apache child can be reused multiple times, while
PHP loads it's settings only once (at startup)?
I guess you just don't understand the way it works, just think about
it, you'll get that it's impossible to make PHP behave differently on
different *virtual* hosts, unless every child performs only 1 request
and dies just after that (which would be a huge overhead).

I do understand that multiple environment variables cannot be set. I
believe I understand now, PHP 5 no longer has a method for allowing
multiple configurations for virtual hosts in Apache 1.3 and isn't
intended to. This explains why Woody does not include PHP 5 in Debian:
without virtual hosts support PHP 5 isn't useful in an online
environment. I guess I'll keep using PHP 4 for online systems and wait
for a release that addresses this requirement (PHP6?). I have since
found I can use PHP 5 if I use a single PHP.INI, just don't set the
docroot and enable most of the packages, except no one in their right
mind would do this outside of a development environment.

This is simply misunderstanding. It's not possible to have different
PHPRC environment variables for different virtualhosts.
And SetEnv PHPRC is NOT the way to set it.
That is an Apache environment variable, not the system environment PHP
uses.
And it's documented properly now - bogus.

Description:
The bug reports and updated documentation for PHP 5 state that the
PHPRC variable should no longer be set by Apache 1.x but as a system
environment variable instead. What the documentation fails to describe
is how the environment variable is to be configured for each Apache 1.x
Virtual Host, each with it's own PHP configuration. It appears to me
that this PHPRC issue really is a bug and not a documentation issue. It
is unreasonable that multiple hosts should share the same php.ini file.
Workarounds are to upgrade Apache 1.x to 2.x (not recommended) or roll
back to PHP 4.
Reproduce code:
---
The SetEnv PHPRC in a Apache 1.x httpd.conf file will not be read by
PHP5. This can easily be proven using phpinfo().
Expected result:
There must be a documented method of providing a seperate php.ini for
each Apache 1.x virtual host.
Actual result:
--
The documentation states that the variable should be set as a system
wide environment variable. The documentation fails to state how this
should be done when there is more than one virtual host which requires
more than one php.ini file.
