Horrible indeed. I got no joy from this. It didn't work.

When you say didn't work... do you mean you didn't find any other
php.ini files?

There's one other thing I can think of. It's possible to set things like
the location of the php.ini file and also php configuration directives
through Apache's configuration.

Now I know you're using IIS, but is there a similar thing available
through IIS's configuration? (I wouldn't know, I don't practise the dark
arts...)

You can tell Windows where to find the php.ini file by setting the PHPRC evironment variable. But, if you've already placed *your* php.ini file in the location indicated by phpinfo(), then I'm not sure why it wouldn't be read, unless:

1. From the manual: "*Note: * If you're using NTFS on Windows NT, 2000, XP or 2003, make sure that the user running the web server has read permissions to your php.ini (e.g. make it readable by Everyone)."

2. IIS hadn't been restarted (to re-read the new php.ini).

Other than that, not sure. Sorry.
