Phpinidir the difference between php.ini-dist and php.ini-recommended in PHP source program
Application of Phpinidir (reproduced)
Phpinidir is the path of PHP initialization file php.ini, in the past we put php.ini in the Windows directory, in PHP5, php.ini search path is no longer limited to PHP4 era%systemroot%, PHP5 will look for php.ini in the following order:
1, Phpinidir (Apache 2 module only, this instruction is only used when PHP as an Apache module, not support CGI running PHP)
2. Registry key value: Hkey_local_machine/software/php/inifilepath
3. Environment variable:%phprc%
4. PHP5 directory (for CLI), or Web server directory (for SAPI modules)
5. Windows directory (c:/windows or C:/WINNT)
In these five scenarios, it is best to use Phpinidir in conjunction with Apache2, which is to include in the apache2/conf/httpd.conf file:
# Configure the path to PHP.ini
Phpinidir "c:/php"
Also, on NTFS, remember to give the server Read permission to open php.ini.
