php.ini will not update

[blink182prj]

I made some changes to php.ini in order to get the mail() command to work. However, after saving php.ini and restarting Apache, the phpinfo() command still returns the old values. Inspecting the php.ini file shows the new values are still there. I am definitely changing the php.ini that is referenced in the phpinfo() printout. Even rebooting my computer did not update the settings. I don't know how to get php to update these values!

I am using Windows XP, Apache 2, and PHP 4. Can anyone help me?

How many copies of php.ini file do you have and where they located. With windows php.ini is looked for in a few folders. With the apache binary, Systems Folder e.g. c:\windows\ or PHP CLI exe.

Make sure you have one php.ini on your system, as it stops confusion.

This also has the order of which PHP looks for the php.ini file

Yeah, stupid me...For some reason, the php.ini file was named php.ini-DIST. Because I had extensions turned off, I couldn't see the full name of the file and I just assumed it was .ini. I changed the name and now everythign works! Thank you!
