David,

It sounds like your php.ini file is not being found or there might be a
problem with its values being overlaid by some master settings as you
described (although I believe the latter to be less likely). Is your
php.ini
file located in /etc/httpd as your configure line says? Can you try
turning
off that configuration option and see if having the php.ini file in
/usr/local/lib
or your local directory makes a difference? Alternatively, can you
tweak
some other setting (e.g. one of the highlight settings) and see if
phpinfo
reports your new value to see if your php.ini file is, in fact, being
read correctly?

As for your java specific questions, I found that on Solaris, you must
have
libjvm.so specified as your java.library since specifying libjava.so
causes the
dlsym lookup for JNI_CreateJVM to fail (that function is in libjvm.so
but on
other platforms the lookup works even if you specify libjava.so). I
don't
recall if you also need to have the java.library.path include the jdk
directories
(e.g. /usr/java1.2/jre/lib/sparc/) but it probably wouldn't hurt.

You might also want to take a look at bug #6990 which may validate your
assumption of the php.ini entries being clobbered (if the bug is valid,
that is).
