php.ini location

[johnie]

Hi. Is it possible to have php started with a php.ini file located elsewhere the /windows directory?
The manual shows the command
"php -c path-to-file\php.ini"
but this doesn't seem to work.

There must be an easier option to do this because not all webservers can recognize options in the executable path.

Thanks

I've always kept my PHP.INI in the PHP dir and it works fine

[johnie]

Is your PHP installation located in c:\php ??
If PHP doesn't find the php.ini file were it is supposed to be (in c:\windows) it works with the default settings that it's precompiled and if i'm not wrong these settings assume that the installation is in c:\php .

Please correct me if i'm wrong.
