PHP can"t find the php.ini file

Please forgive what may be a simple question, but I sure can't figure it
out.

SETUP: I am running apache 2.0.59 on Windows XP home SP2 with php 5.2.3
installed and running.

PROBLEM: PHP is not seeing the config file (php.ini) in c:\windows. Running
phpinfo() yields these results in the mentioned fields:

Configuration File (php.ini) Path
C:\WINDOWS
Loaded Configuration File
(none)

What is going on??? I know the file is there! Why can't php see it? Or am I
just totally misunderstanding?


Thanks so much,
Don

Re: PHP can"t find the php.ini file

Hi

What makes you think it's not finding the configuration file? phpinfo
output tells you where the php.ini IS located.

BTW, it's no longer recommended to keep it in the windows directory.
See the manual setup documentation for preferred methods.

I know it isn't seeing the file because no matter what I change in the
configuration, the defaults remain on.

Re: PHP can"t find the php.ini file

Do you restart your Apache server after making a change to php.ini?
