I was thinking the wrong way of what you wrote earlier. I haven't tested it properly in every detail, but from the perspective of what I know it's like you wrote. The file that's mentioned as "php.ini" is the main configuration file of your php-installation. It may be, that the user-ini file was renamed to "php.ini" as well, but if you read about "php.ini", they always mean the configuration-file that you see listed in the output of phpinfo() as "Configuration File (php.ini) Path". * You can rename the user-ini file by changing the user_ini.filename setting in the php.ini file (as written on the page I linked you to) * The php-settings are restored after/before each script-execution * The manual doesn't catch if a user-ini file was found ... just that it bubbles up to the document_root. Maybe the configuration found in user-ini files is merged, or just the first file is taken. * I don't know what happens to configuration you apply f.e. in nginx ... I know neither when settings in php-fpm are applied ... that's something left for testing, or until somebody finds the documentation explaining it (I know there is one ...), but I guess they're applied after the php.ini and before the user-ini files. Examples are listed here: http://php.net/manual/en/install.fpm.configuration.php#example-60 * What you set using set_ini() is just applied for the rest of the currently running script. Bye Simon
