apache configuration file

Question

Excuse me, there is a line of code to set the php.ini file in the apache configuration file, as shown below. Why can it run without removing the "#" sign in front of PHPIniDir? I installed this using wamp, and then I watched the video on configuring apache separately. It said that the "#" must be removed.

Answer 1

Here is the loading path of the PHP configuration file specified by APACHE. If commented out, PHP will load the configuration file in the following order.

• PHPIniDir (Apache 2 module only)

• Registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE—SOFTWARE—PHPIniFilePath

• Environment variable:%PHPRC%

• PHP5 directory (for CLI), or web server directory (for SAPI modules)

• Windows directory (C:windows or C:winnt)
  So if it is Apache + PHP5, you can use PHPIniDir to specify the path to the php5 configuration file php.ini.
