Installation et configuration
w2k, apache 1.3.29, php 5.2.6: c:\php\php.ini was not found until the environment variable PHPRC was set to "c:\php", even though php was used as a module, not CGI.
just adding c:\php to the path was not adequate.
phpinfo() still shows "Configuration File (php.ini) Path" to be C:\WINNT, but "Loaded Configuration File" now correctly displays "C:\php\php.ini".
initially the problem appeared to be simply that the mysql extension was not loading; in fact, the problem was more fundamental (php.ini not found) but because php will still work with defaults, this was not obvious.
Configuration
Sommaire
Le fichier de configuration
Le fichier de configuration (php.ini) est lu par PHP au démarrage. Si vous avez compilé PHP en module, le fichier n'est lu qu'une seule fois, au lancement du démon HTTP. Pour les versions CGI et CLI le fichier est lu à chaque invocation.
Le php.ini est cherché dans ces endroits (et dans cet ordre) :
-
L'endroit spécifique du module SAPI (la directive PHPIniDir d'Apache 2, l'option de la ligne de commande -cen CGI et en CLI, le paramètre php_ini en NSAPI, la variable d'environnement PHP_INI_PATH en THTTPD)
-
La variable d'environnement PHPRC. Avant PHP 5.2.0, cette variable était récupérée après la clé de registre mentionnée ci-dessous.
-
Depuis PHP 5.2.0, les clés de registre suivantes sont cherchées dans cet ordre : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PHP\x.y.z\IniFilePath, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PHP\x.y\IniFilePath et HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PHP\x\IniFilePath, où x, y et z signifie les versions majeurs, mineurs et normales.
-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PHP\IniFilePath (Registre Windows)
-
Le dossier courant de travail (sous pour CLI)
-
Le dossier du serveur web (pour les modules SAPI), ou le dossier contenant PHP (autrement dans Windows)
-
Le dossier Windows (C:\windows ou C:\winnt) (pour Windows), ou l'option de compilation --with-config-file-path lors de la compilation
Si le fichier php-SAPI.ini existe (où SAPI utilise SAPI, donc le nom du fichier est e.g. php-cli.ini ou php-apache.ini), il sera utilisé à la place du php.ini. Le nom SAPI peut être déterminé en utilisant la fonction php_sapi_name().
Note: Le serveur web Apache change ce dossier en dossier root au démarrage, ce qui fait que PHP essaye de lire php.ini depuis le système de fichier racine s'il existe.
Les directives php.ini sont directement documentées, par extensions, sur les pages respectives du manuel de ces extensions. La liste des directives internes est disponible en annexe. Il est probable que toutes les directives PHP ne sont pas documentées dans le manuel. Pour une liste complète des directives disponibles dans votre version de PHP, merci de lire les commentaires de votre propre fichier php.ini. Vous pouvez également trouver la » dernière liste disponible sur CVS.
Exemple #1 Extrait du php.ini
; tout texte sur une ligne, situé après un point-virgule ";" est ignoré [php] ; les marqueur de section (texte entre crochets) sont aussi ignorés ; Les valeurs booléennes peuvent être spécifiées comme ceci : ; true, on, yes ; ou false, off, no, none register_globals = off track_errors = yes ; vous pouvez placer les chaînes de caractères entre guillemets include_path = ".:/usr/local/lib/php" ; Les antislash sont traités comme n'importe quel caractère include_path = ".;c:\php\lib"
Depuis PHP 5.1.0, il est possible de se référer à des variables .ini depuis des fichiers .ini. Par exemple : open_basedir = ${open_basedir} ":/new/dir".

On my Debian system I wrestled with something similar after apt-get ting updates for PHP and MYSQL, turns out the apt-get install worked great but broke my libphp module under apache. Once this module was deleted, I was able to rebuild it under PHP using ./configure
All works well now.

Hello,
Having tried EVERYTHING on every php / mysql site to get php5.2.5 to talk to mysql server 5.0 (including all php.ini settings, all dlls, and many more ...)
Please try this: set Apache2.2 service Startup Type to MANUAL. If not, it does not see to reload php.ini, no matter how many times you stop and start.
After 2 days, I finally see mysql info for <?php phpinfo(); ?>
Hope this helps!!

Be sure to use double quotes in the php.ini file. For instance:
(lines broken for readability)
this will work:
# xdebug debugging
zend_extension="/usr/local/php5/lib/php/extensions
/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/xdebug.so"
this won't:
# xdebug debugging
zend_extension='/usr/local/php5/lib/php/extensions
/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/xdebug.so'
You'll get this error:
Failed loading '/usr/local/php5/lib/php/extensions/
no-debug-non-zts-20060613/xdebug.so': (null)
So... double quotes are the way! I know this is obvious, but it's a good thing to remember for the php.ini file.

About Apache 2.0 module:
For whatever reason, the Windows installer for PHP/5.2.3 tries to set the PHPIniDir directive using "\\" as directory separator:
PHPIniDir "C:\\Archivos de programa\\PHP\\"
It didn't work for me until I edited httpd.conf and replaced it with "/":
PHPIniDir "C:/Archivos de programa/PHP/"

In order to get PHP 5.2 stable running on Windows Server 2003 x64 (IIS 6.0), I discovered three things (in addition to the other comments above):
* Some PHP web applications make use of the SCRIPT_NAME server variable which is not available under CGI. You have to use php5isapi.dll, which is a 32 bit dll, so you have to run IIS in 32 bit mode. Confer http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894435. This applies to all ISAPI extensions and not just ASP.NET.
* It appears you must leave the doc_root entry in php.ini blank. At least, that is what finally made my installation work. (Note that others have suggested to set it to e.g. C:\inetpub\wwwroot or equivalent. That won't work if your server hosts more than one domain, each placed in a separate directory.)
* If you are e.g. using MySQL you will have to edit php.ini. In order for it to be found, you must set the PHPRC system environment variable or the registry entry. Note that if you edit the registry using regedit.exe, the PHP key should be placed under the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node] key. This happens automatically if you set it using a 32 bit legacy application.

Run php 4 and php 5.2.x on the same machine with IIS 6.0 as ISAPI.
1. Extract the ZIP packages of both php 4 & php 5 (not the Windows Installer) to c:\php4 & c:\php5 respectively
2. Setup the corresponding php.ini files in c:\php4 and c:\php5
3. Add the Web Service Extensions for php4 and php5. For php4 use c:\php4\sapi\php4isapi.dll, php5 use c:\php5\php5isapi.dll
4. Add the following registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PHP\5\IniFilePath -> c:\php5
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PHP\IniFilePath -> c:\php4
5. Add c:\php4 to the PATH environment variable.
6. Associate each web site in IIS with the corresponding php version.
7. Reboot
Note: That should work, test with phpinfo() in each site. You may need to refer to the php documentation if we missed any other settings.

[ When php run as Apache Module ]
DOCUMENT_ROOT .htaccess
+======================================+
SetEnv PHPRC /home/user/dir-containing-phpinifile
+======================================+
[ When php run as CGI ]
Place your php.ini file in the dir of your cgi'd php binary, in this case /cgi-bin/
DOCUMENT_ROOT .htaccess
+======================================+
AddHandler php-cgi .php .htm
Action php-cgi /cgi-bin/php5.cgi
+======================================+
[ PHP run as cgi with wrapper (for FastCGI) ]
Your wrapper script should look something like:
+======================================+
#!/bin/sh
export PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN=3
exec /user/htdocs/cgi-bin/php.cgi -c /home/user/php.ini

Setting php.ini location for PHP working as Apache module (without use SetEnv directive in httpd.conf):
Before start Apache, set the PHPRC environment variable to the path where php.ini should be loaded, for example:
PHPRC=/etc/php4/apache-another-path
export PHPRC
In Debian we can do this way:
In /etc/init.d/apache (the script that loads apache web server) we have this line:
ENV="env -i LANG=C PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin"
Set to this:
ENV="env -i LANG=C PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin PHPRC=/etc/php4/apache-another-path"
Then wen you reload apache the php.ini will be loaded in the directory configured in PHPRC environment variable.

You can use also use the predefined PHP_SAPI constant instead of php_sapi_name().

For those people who want to use the PHPRC environment variable:
You have to specify the path to the directory containing your php.ini, not the direct path to the php.ini.
Example (php.ini resides in /your/path/php.ini):
right:
export PHPRC=/your/path
wrong:
export PHPRC=/your/path/php.ini

Please note that the SetEnv PHPRC "directory/to/phpini/" only works when using PHP as CGI, but _not_ when you use the PHP Apache Module!

For IIS users: If you experience high parsetimes, try to set output_buffering to On. IIS has problems with scripts outputting many small pieces of text, and with output_buffering = On, PHP sends the whole page to IIS in one piece.
