  • load an INI file from another INI file

    From Flash@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jul 9 09:48:15 2022
    See https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E51711_01/TSG/FAQ/Can%20I%20load%20an%20INI%20file%20from%20another%20INI%20file_.html

    Therefore

    $ tree /var/tmp/config
    ├── FSISYS.INI
    ├── FSIUSER.INI
    └── sub
    └── config.INI

    $ cat FSISYS.INI
    < INIFiles >
    File = sub/config.INI

    $ cat FSIUSER.INI
    < INIFiles >
    File = sub/config.INI

    $ PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR=/var/tmp/config php -i \
    | grep INI
    PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR => /var/tmp/config
    $_SERVER['PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR'] => /var/tmp/config

    You can already guess that the file sub/config.INI is not loading.
    Here is a more specific examination

    $ PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR=/var/tmp/config php -i \
    | grep sub/config.INI || echo NOT FOUND
    NOT FOUND

    Why?

    Seems that most of the FAQ's are related to FSI, which I assume is one
    of Oracles own products and those I wouldn't take that to mean all ini
    files has support for loading another ini file with a setting.

    php.ini is a quite well documented one and never documented that you
    could load another ini file by giving it's location.

    PHP do support loading additional/alternative ini files based on the web service configuration, in general that is limited to load the ini file
    that is located in the execution directory.

    $ PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR=/var/tmp/config php -i \
    | grep sub/config.INI || echo NOT FOUND
    NOT FOUND

    Why?

    PHP not Oracles FSI, but you can always submit a patch to add this
    behavior to PHP, then it's a question it the PHP developers will accept
    it or not.
