AW: [ms4w-users] php.ini includes

[Eduin Carrillo]

Hello Robert.

Updating, Updating, Updating. Here we have created a lot of applications based on MS4W. Most of them now have .bat installers and uninstallers. Believe me, this is the easiest way to distribute our custom apps: One click to install, one click to uninstall. Adding lines to php.ini is easy, deleting them is complicated from a .bat file.
When a new version of MS4W comes, we have the need to update on customers PCs. On most modifications of MS4W base files, more complicated this process is.

Activating extensions is the most common modification of php.ini, but other tasks can be done there for each application. I think one more directory doesn't hurt anybody and can be developers's life easy.

Hey Eduin,

much respect to your abilities and knowledge,
but I try to create a geo-web application by the help of ms4w and several applications. I find it very hard to get just the plattform running and I would be happy if the installation of such an environment can be easy as possible. Introducing additional folders and files will make it more complicated to the users. What is wrong in changing the php.ini? 
 
With respect,
Robert

If PHP is compiled with --with-config-file-scan-dir, then we can include external ini files to Php.ini. In phpinfo this files are listed as "Scan this dir for additional .ini files" and "additional .ini files parsed" items.

If this option is enabled on MS4W, we can create a "/ms4w/php.d" directory to include *.ini files without modify the original php.ini file.

Hello,

You can always submit some code to the list so we can all try it. 
(other than that I'm not so sure I understand what you mean, but I guess
  if you show it in action I'll understand)
