Two php.ini files?

[nysteve]

So I'm continuing  my trip with w3school... up to emailing error logs.

The first problem i noticed was that my smtp and send_to vars were not set .. i fixed that but then i noticed that even though I was getting the errors mailed to me, the from address was still strange. Then i did a search for php.ini file (I'm on Vista) in my C:\wamp folder and noticed that there are actually 2 of them, one was in c:\wamp\php and one in c:\wamp\apache2.

 

So then my question why are there 2? They seem identical?

 

Thanks,

Don't know, not clairvoyant.

 

However, phpinfo() will tell you which one it is using.

Strange; it's using the file in the apache2 folder:

 

//what's the diff between this?

Configuration File (php.ini) Path C:\Windows

 

//and this?

Loaded Configuration File         C:\wamp\Apache2\bin\php.ini

doesn't make a difference. whichever one it's using is the one it's using. there could be 10000 php.ini files scattered all over your hard drive, but PHP will only use the one.

The phpinfo() is quite the function... thanks Barand.
