# New INIs, Round Three - Thread: https://externals.io/message/43151 - Original archive: https://news-web.php.net/php.internals/43151 - Started by Eric Stewart on 2009-02-22T06:33:03+00:00 - Messages: 4 - Reply by email to internals@lists.php.net - More for agents: search with https://externals.io/search.md?q={query} · JSON API at https://externals.io/api · documentation at https://externals.io/llms.txt --- ## #43151 — Eric Stewart — 2009-02-22T06:33:03+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/43151#43151 I made the following changes to the new INIs based on feedback mostly from this list. Here are the changes. 1. Changed production value of error_reporting to `E_ALL` & ~E_DEPRECATED. 2. extension_dir is now commented in both INIs. 3. enable_dl is now set to Off in both INIs. This was not added to the Quick Reference section as PHP NEWS has this value now changed to Off as of 5.3. 4. Changed doc references that had us2.php.net to www.php.net. 5. Changed point 6 in the About php.ini section from: ; 6. Windows directory (C:\windows or C:\winnt), or --with-config-file-path ; compile time option. to: ; 6. The directory from the --with-config-file-path compile time option, or the ; Windows directory (C:\windows or C:\winnt) 6. Changed comments about Dynamic Extensions to include the addition of paths. The new comment regarding this now reads: ; If you wish to have an extension loaded automatically, use the following ; syntax: ; ; extension=modulename.extension ; ; For example, on Windows: ; ; extension=msql.dll ; ; ... or under UNIX: ; ; extension=msql.so ; ; ... or with a path: ; ; extension=/path/to/extension/msql.so ; ; If you only provide the name of the extension, PHP will look for it in it's ; default extension directory. 7. A few small grammatical and spelling mistakes have been fixed. 8. On a vote of 10 to 1. The production INI value for allow_call_time_pass_reference is now set to Off (Issue Warnings). That's all the changes made this round. You can view the revised versions at: http://wiki.php.net/rfc/newinis Please let me know if there are any other adjustments we need to make. From the looks of things, I think we are getting close to moving this RFC from Active to Accepted. So let me know what you think.
