I have a pc that was set up with Apache and PHP, where PHP was installed in c:\program files\PHP. When I run a test program from within PhpED:



phpinfo tells me it uses c:\program files\PHP\php.ini and NOT C:\Program Files\nusphere\phped\php5\php.ini. Path to php.ini in Settings/Tools points to the correct C:\Program Files\nusphere\phped\php5\php.ini and the SRV server port is set to 8080.

What's wrong?

For the record: I solved the problem.

In the previously described problem, PhpED's 5.1.6 PHP used a PHP 5.2 php.ini that caused some dll's (i.e. mysql) not to work. (http://www.php.net/configuration describes how PHP determines what php.ini to use for both versions, which differ in locating the right php.ini)

The solution is quite simple: download the PHP 5.2 version from PhpED's website and install it. Although the PhpED's PHP invocation still uses the wrong php.ini, at least it's the correct version now and dll's work again...

there are two ways:
1) you can use php installed on your system. In this order, you have to turn RunMode to "HTTP/3rd party web server", create project and set its properties. (See File Mapping in the FAQ forum)

2) you can use php that comes with PhpED. In this case remove PHPRC enviroment variable and set RunMode to "HTTP/SRV web server"

(Personally, I'd prefer the 1st way)
