For different SAPIs ...

php-cli.ini, php-isapi.ini, php-cgi-fcgi.ini, etc. is what I use on Windows.

Combined with registry settings for PHP (Prior to PHP5), PHP5 and
PHP6, I can very easily dictate which INI file will be loaded for
which version of PHP and for which SAPI.

Beyond that, I can use [HOST=] for some host specific settings.

All of this is with the standard windows pre-compiled binaries.
