path to php.ini in htaccess

[martyn]

Is is possible to use the -c switch to specify a custom php.ini file in the path to the php executable in htaccess? I tried the following but doesn't seem to work:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php
Action application/x-httpd-php "/usr/local/bin/php -c /path/to/cusom/php.ini"

is this possible or is my syntax wrong?

From the documentation:
You can also use the environment variable PHPRC for an additional path to search for a php.ini file.
