PHP uses the settings from: C:\Windows\php.ini, not C:\PHP\php.ini

Have you ensured you've allowed apache to parse HTML files to act as PHP
Files?

Subject: [PHP-WIN] Configuration problem?

I have php installed and a working copy of phpMyAdmin, MySQL and
Apache2.0.58 on a windows2k box.

phpMyAdmin works fine, as do a couple of other php scripts. However, when I
go to try to code in php myself, I get a blank screen. I downloaded
zend-studio to try to see if I could trace the fault with my setup. The
studio shows that I can do simple echo scripts -- but that I get the
following error when I try to connect to the mySQL database

Debug Error: C:\Homepage\psychtest\private\search.htm line 13 - Call to
undefined function mysql_pconnect()

the following call (from your php tutorial) also returns nothing.
echo $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];

The zend studio debugger returns the following message...

Notice: C:\Homepage\psychtest\private\search.htm line 10 - Undefined index:
HTTP_USER_AGENT

Am I supposed to insert a reference to a library of functions somewhere at
the start of my code?

I was able to enter phpinfo in the zend debugger, and I noticed that the
info returned was NOT the same as the settings in the php.ini file in my
C:/php/php.ini file.

Thanks in advance for any ideas or suggestions you can provide. Have a great
day!

Daniel,

It may use C:\Windows\php.ini on your box, but mine is definitely using
C:\PHP\php.ini.

On my NT boxes, I have the following at the end of httpd.conf:

# configure the path to php.ini
PHPIniDir "C:/php"

But no reference at all on my XP box.

Checkout the link below to see the order in which PHP looks for the
configuration file.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/config...figuration.file

Then, as someone suggested, search you HD for php.ini.

I remember I had this problem before and got in aright knot as I wanted
php5, and 4.2.3 on the same machine and they were all using the wrong
config files :)
