Definitely check the phpinfo() to verify that your path to the php.ini file is valid. PHP loads with default values in the event it cannot find php.ini. In windows, it looks in C:\Windows as the default directory. If, like me, you don't like moving your PHP files around, then you will need to set an Environment Variable PHPRC with the correct path -- especially useful if you have your web site on a different drive. -jim -----Original Message----- From: Wayne Khan [mailto:kzhiwei@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, November 29, 2005 4:19 AM To: php-windows@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Changes to php.ini file have no effect You can use phpinfo() and look for the entry "Configuration File (php.ini) Path"... Not sure if an error or hacker can do so, but maybe its possible. Windows Apache runs PHP as as a module; have you tried simply restarting the webserver?

I've been running a php-nuke site for some time, but recently it started acting funny. I made some changes to my php.ini, but discovered that changes have no effect. Even if I delete the php.ini from my windows directory and the php directory, there is no effect. Is there some chance that a variable somewhere, possibly changed by an error or a hacker, now points to a hidden php.ini file somewhere? I'm running Apache and PHP 4.3 on Windows XP Pro.
