php.ini and cli

Hi All,

Just a quick question. When I make changes in the php.ini, to take effect, I
need to restart the Apache (or other web server) service. What happens with
PHP CLI? Is the php.ini parsed each time the script is called, or is there
something specific which needs resetting? The machine that the PHP CLI is
running on is a Windows machine with no web server.

The CLI binary reads and parses php.ini on every initialization.

Try something like


echo $foo
?>
And then set error_reporting (in php.ini) to E_ALL and see your
warning, then set it to 0 and see nothing.

The php.ini file is read whenever a PHP process is started, so in the
case of the CLI binary that's whenever it's run from the command line.
Long-running scripts will need to be restarted for them to see any
changes.

Cool. The script I'm running is just scanning a directory structure for new
files, so it's not a long-running one. I just needed to add some email
functionality to it, and had to make some SMTP changes in the php.ini.
