[PHP] '--enable-track-vars' & php.ini file on Mac OS X From: Mario A. Salinas (masphp <email protected>)

Hi Folks,

Let me begin with the direct question to save you time. If you want
more info read more about the issue by reading 'The Problem:' below.

The question:

Is there any way to '--enable-track-vars' in my Macintosh laptop
running Mac OS-X 10.1.5 and a version 4.2.1 installation of PHP
without creating a php.ini file? Is there a command I can run to do
this? If so... What directory do I need to be in when I do this?

Configuration Info:

Mac OS X
PHP Version 4.2.1

The problem:

I have a PHP application which works fine on a Cobalt server that is
running PHP 4.0.2. My problem is that I'm trying to run this
application (a set of PHP scripts) on my Macintosh laptop which is
running Mac OS X 10.1.5. I have tested the PHP installation using
the phpinfo() function on my laptop and it works fine. But my
scripts require the tracking of variables.

By running the phpinfo() function on both my laptop (PHP v. 4.2.1
this does not run my scripts) and the cobalt server (PHP v. 4.0.2
this does run my scripts) I noticed that there was some difference in
the configuration. I noticed that my laptop configuration does not
have '--enable-track-vars' listed under the Configure Command
information in the PHP configuration page that results from running
the phpinfo() function but the Cobalt PHP installation does have that
listed.

The installation of PHP I used was obtained from:

http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/

This page says that this installation package does not include a
php.ini file and it goes on to say that, if I want this file I should
just create it. But it does not say what should go into this php.ini
file. I suppose I could just copy the php.ini file from the Cobalt
server running PHP v. 4.0.2 but I think that won't work.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Mario Salinas
