Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Question about where to put the gtk.ini file for php(5)-gtk?
From: jess@zend.com (Jess Portnoy)

Hello,

There is an ENV var called PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR, when exported, it can 
override the default scandir set during compilation. You can set this in 
an RC file sourced by apachectl. From you description I can tell you're 
packaging an RPM for it so, as I'm sure you're aware, you need to think 
of the best way to accomplish this as an RPM cannot just run wild and 
has to consider fitting in the general scheme of things and that may 
make it somewhat difficult :)
About GTK, what exactly happens? It should not crash the PHP module but 
I admit I never tried and am not familiar with the problem.
In my personal opinion, if the extension cannot load under some SAPI, it 
should be disabled. That is, PHP_MINIT should include a check of SAPI 
and return FAILURE in the event the current SAPI cannot be operated under.
Another extension I guess should do that is PCNTL, known not to work 
well in web server context.


May the source be with you,
Best regards,
Jess Portnoy
