If you create a php.ini file, even an empty one, magic_quotes_gpc gets enabled for all PHP scripts in that directory. This is likely to subtly break things.

If you create a php.ini file, even an empty one, magic_quotes_gpc gets enabled for all PHP scripts in that directory. This is likely to subtly break things.

The other changes, according to phpinfo(), are:

Here's a related annoying problem: it is impossible to override anything set in /etc/php.d/*.ini with ./php.ini. This includes the include_path option, which people would definitely like to be able to override (#433633 for example).

I suspect that the right solution will fix both of these problems. But I haven't yet figured out what that is.

  • Resolution set to wontfix
  • Status changed from new to closed

#172 offers a nice way of "fixing" (i.e. not doing) this, so I'm going to WONTFIX this.

  • Resolution wontfix deleted
  • Status changed from closed to reopened

I’m going to reopen this until we actually solve #172, because I’m not sure it’s quite as trivial as you imagine (in particular, .user.ini doesn’t seem to let you load extensions).
