Mrdini: ebow, ummm
[23:00] Mrdini: ideally you SHOULDN’T edit php.ini.default
[23:00] Mrdini: you’re supposed to copy it to php.ini & edit the copy
[23:00] ebow: err… ok
[23:01] ebow: Mrdini: should i leave php.ini and php.ini.default coexist then?
[23:01] ebow: someone in #php told me i could just edit the file and remove the .default extension
[23:01] Mrdini: there’s a reason why it’s called php.ini.DEFAULT so you have a file to refer to, in case you kill your PHP install
[23:02] Mrdini: think of php.ini.default as your backup, basically
[23:03] ebow: Mrdini: ok, i did make a copy of it actually, so if i move that back to its original location, can php.ini and php.ini.default coexist at the same place? perhaps php.ini could contain only the setting different from the default? should the folder contain only one of them and i keep the default in a different location?
[23:03] ebow: (i don’t have a php-recommended.ini)
[23:03] Mrdini: ebow, PHP doesn’t look at php.ini.default at all – it only reads php.ini….. so basically, yes
[23:03] [R] joined the chat room.
[23:03] Mrdini: they can co-exist
[23:04] ebow: ok, great ,thanks for your help
[23:04] Mrdini: np
