WTF? php.ini problem....

Hi all,

I've been using PHP since mid version 3 but, due to being lazy and having an
IT director to do it for me, I haven't done an install for the past couple
of years.

I recently decided to install it on a Windows machine at home. The install
went without problem, and so did my "hello world" test script.
The problems started after downloading a project from work. I'm being
flooded with notices about undeclared variables. I tried editing the
following line in php.ini but, after reloading the page and restart Apache,
it didn't make a difference.

error_reporting = E_COMPILE_ERROR|E_ERROR|E_CORE_ERROR

By my reckoning, that should switch off "notices"? But it doesn't, any body
any clues?

Some extra info that may help:
php.ini is in C:\php\php.ini
Apache loadmodule points to C:\php\sapi\whateveritscalled.dll I also
copied the php.ini file into here but with no luck.


Thanks for any help,

Nathan

What value does phpinfo() report for error_reporting?
Also what php.ini file location does it say?

It won't be read from there by default.

Either:

(1) Copy it to %WINDIR%/php.ini
(2) [better] Set the PHPRC environment variable to c:\php and restart.

Won't be read from there either ;-)

Have a look in main/php_ini.c in the PHP source code for the logic it uses to
find php.ini, in particular php_init_config().

Andy,

Thankyou!
I've (you've) got it working.

Cheers,
