I take back what I said. You have a documentation error.

From http://us2.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.iis.php: "Modify the
Windows PATH environment variable to include the PHP directory. This
way the PHP DLL files, PHP executables, and php.ini can all remain in
the PHP directory without cluttering up the Windows system directory.
For more details, see the FAQ on Setting the PATH."

I thought I wasn't smoking crack. :-)

I see that now, and I now agree with the bogus status. It was buried
pretty deeply at
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php#configuration.file.

No bug here, PHP is not supposed to look for php.ini in PATH.

Description:
------------
I have used filemon (from sysinternals.com) to verify that php does not
even check C:\php for a php.ini file even though c:\php is in my path.

Here is my path statement:
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;c:\Program
Files\Intel\DMIX;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\80\Tools\Binn\;c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\90\Tools\binn\;c:\php

I tried moving c:\php to the 4th item in the path statement, and that
didn't make a difference, either.

According to filemon, php is checking c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\ and
C:\windows\. I think that is bizarre because
c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\ isn't even in the path!

Expected result:
----------------
php should load php.ini out of c:\php.

Actual result:
--------------
php doesn't even check c:\php.
