Subject: Request #66574 Allow multiple paths in php_ini_scanned_path - for
 feedback
From: remi@fedoraproject.org (Remi Collet)

Hi,

See https://bugs.php.net/66574


Real use case: with Software Collections,
projects are installed in /opt/<provider>/<name>

So in RHSCL, PHP is installed in /opt/rh/php55

If another provider want to extend the PHP collection it will have to
use another path, /opt/<otherprovider>, so it will need a way to use 2
configuration directories.

The proposed path use a : separated list (or whatever the default dir
separator list is) and, inspired by MANPATH syntax, empty string means
default builtin value.

Patch (with space changes ignored for readability):
https://bugs.php.net/patch-display.php?bug_id=66574&patch=iniscan-multipath-strip.patch&revision=latest


I plan to apply this minor change in 5.5.


Thanks for your feedback,
Remi


P.S. I'm aware we probably need a more deep rework of ini management,
but this is only a minor change we need for SCL.
