Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Diffs for README.TESTING clarification about php.ini
	default usage
From: ilia@prohost.org (Ilia Alshanetsky)

Not quite, the default php.ini file is actually
/usr/local/lib/php(-cli).ini unless you tell PHP a custom path to
install itself or the ini to. IMHO hard coding a path into the docs is a
BAD idea.
