NO, NO, please NO! No registry! God please, No! I have a complete Apache, Perl, mySQL and PHP install on my NT (works 2k and XP BTW) and I have NO registry settings! None! I don't want them! I back up my G volume to CD, and when my windows box dies (which it does all too often) all I have to do is restore from the CD, add some env vars and I'm in business! Now, if Windows PHP would be made "smart" enough to look in it's current dir FIRST for its INI, then I, and others, can run multiple versions of PHP without a problem. Why this was not done in the first place I have no idea. I just figured the guys who made it had a real good, windows limiting, reason for doing what they did. (I hope) So please, I vote -1 on a registry setting. BTW: add the env var PHPRC with the path to your PHP install and PHP will look there for the INI. But again, this only works for a single PHP install. Walter -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
