php.ini prob

[tim10]

hello folks, I'm been trying to learn PHP on my computer locally and everything has been working great. I have made a guest book and a few things.

however I need make changes to the php.ini to install a CMS but after I do make changes and I restart apache. I do a phpinfo function and I see no changes.

Evenmore (in all my frustration) I totally deleted everything in my C:\php dir except the sapi folder. I restarted apache, restarted my computer and PHP still works. The guestbook i made works, everything works.

So I dont know whats going on here, why is php still working and why cant I change the php.ini file?

To be real specific i was just trying to enable zlib. Pointless the php.ini is since it has now been deleted.

running php 4.2

Thanks!

Where does phpinfo say the php.ini file is? Might be in your C:\Windows dir..

thanks for the fast reply!

anyway, I dont get it cause it says that the ini file is on C:\winnt

but im on xp and there is no winnt dir. Weird huh?
