Cuz, really, the odds on it being where you want it to be are pretty
slim.
Odds would be increased if 'pecl' would look at what I've already
declared in the PHP.ini file ;-)
Okay, then you need to add a parameter to the command line to tell
pecl where your php.ini file is, because it is *NOT* going to be in
the place pecl "thinks" it will be on many many many machines.
/usr/bin/php knows where the php.ini file is and /usr/bin/pecl is written
in PHP. It boils down to an ini_get() call. Sounds like your fear of
not knowing where the php.ini file is located is already alleviated.
You haven't done anything but change the keywords and force pecl to
dig through a php.ini file instead of just providing the info in the
first place.
Digging through an ini file? I know you aren't trying to tell me that
this is difficult drudgery. php already digs/dug through the php.ini
file and yes, if I have to provide another command-line argument for
something that is already known THAT is drudgery.
But let's not argue this. I've just adopted the default pecl extension
dir as my php.ini value so MY problem is solved, but for simple academic
debate, I think pecl could/should be smarter (especially if you actually
WANT developers to use it).
