Re: Where you put PHP.INI file in Windows

I think some people use C:\WINNT\ too. I think I did at one point (I'm not sure, that's when I ended up with 2 php.ini files and wasn't sure which one was right smile ).

Re: Where you put PHP.INI file in Windows

I put it with the PHP files, my Apache2 config:

# load the PHP 5 module
LoadModule php5_module "C:/usr-bin/PHP/php5apache2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

# configure the path to php.ini
PHPIniDir "C:/usr-bin/PHP"

I also have the directory in my Windows path.

Might be. This is where phpinfo() said my php.ini is:
C:\Program Files\Zend\ZendPlatform-2.2.0\etc\php.ini
