I whipped up a quick 3-minute presentation entitled php.ini hacks for today’s PHP Lightning Talks session at the O’Reilly Open Source Convention. It demonstrates two features:
- The --with-config-file-scan-dir option to ./configure
- ini variable expansion (“open_basedir = ${open_basedir}:/tmp“)
Why? Because George and Laura asked me to, and this is all I could think of with 20 minutes notice. And because the ini variable expansion feature isn’t documented anywhere on the php.net website except for a passing reference in the PHP 5 ChangeLog:
Added possibility to access INI variables from within .ini file. (Andrei)
Tomorrow I’ll be giving a talk entitled Hacking Apache HTTP Server at Yahoo! It’s a repeat performance of the well-attended presentation I gave at ApacheCon 2005.
