Re: Changes to php.ini not being read through

I moved php.ini to c:\windows and I called phpinfo:

Both clear my browser cache and try it with a different browser:
Configuration File (php.ini) Path     C:\WINDOWS
I goto c:\windows:
php.ini is not there anymore
Do an F3 search:
php.ini is only in c:\php
My extension directory line from phpinfo:
extension_dir C:\php5
My extension directory line from php.ini:
extension_dir = "c:\php\ext"
I do a search inside the file php.ini for the string "php5":
Cannot find "php5"

I don't believe I've done heavy editing to this file at all. Just changed the error reporting level. Shouldn't php complain if the file is corrupt? How could it be finding a phantom php file?

Thanks for the help,

Jack

Since php is not a service it should really be reading in the .ini file
each time it is called.

I would check the phpinfo file just to make sure that the location of
the ini file that is printed out there is the same one as the one I am
editing. (Called Configuration File Path).

If it is then I would changed the location of the php.ini file. If it
was in the folder c:\php then move it to the windows system dir and see
if that makes a difference or visa versa.

If the php.ini file has been edited heavily then download a new one and
see if that makes a difference. Just get it from the zip archive from
the latest release.

Hope that helps.


Did you restart your web server?
