[PHP-DEV] PHP 4.0 Bug #8066: php.ini file not accessible via symbolic link From: michael <email protected>
Date: 11/30/00

From: michael <email protected>
Operating system: Linux glibc 2.1
PHP version: 4.0.3pl1
PHP Bug Type: *Configuration Issues
Bug description: php.ini file not accessible via symbolic link

Since PHP 4 does not give us the option to specify a configuration file (e.g. php.ini) at runtime, we decided that we would instead point CONFIGURATION_FILE_PATH at /etc and provide a symbolic link from /etc/php.ini to /our/path/php-cluster.ini.

However, it appears that the config file reading routines will not traverse symbolic links. This essentially breaks our ability to have cluster-specific ini files.

So, what we'd like to have fixed is the symlink traversal problem, and (more of an RFE) the ability to specify the config file itself (not just the path) at runtime.
