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,

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?

And please don't top post.


I can't reboot the server, but I did restart the World Wide Web Publishing Service. Is that the correct way to restart the server? The last post seemed to indicate the php.ini file was reprocessed each time php is called. Is that correct?
