You're going to recompile all of PHP to embed a string into the executable to point to a different "php.ini" instead of just putting that in your shell script somewhere? Okay.

But many set_ini() are meant to be changed in real-time with the execution of the script! So you'd have to parse for only the set_ini() that has your particular setting. Plus, there's no law that the args to set_ini() can't be from a database, or other dynamic data in a variable. So you'd have to execute the whole program to find out what the values are in some cases. Unless you want to pre-parse set_ini() for constants differently than set_ini() for variables. [shudder] If you think this should be implemented, feel free to take it up with -internals@ or just submit a patch... But I honestly think you haven't really examined this in enough detail to understand why you're just not making sense here... :-) -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
