PHP ini file not loaded in XAMPP 7.4.16

[ricardouel]

Hello friends.

I have XAMPP 7.4.16 on my Windows 8 which came with PHP 7.4.16. I am not able to make the customization of the variables in the php.ini file because the impression I have is that he is not reading the file in the folder C:\xampp\php\ because everything I change there does not appear when I run <? Php echo php_info (); ?>. Does anyone have any idea what may be going on?

In my php_info() view the value of variable "Loaded Configuration File" is "(no value)".

Thanks.

Ricardo.

Did you restart Apache after making your changes to php.ini?

[ricardouel]

See bellow. I use several versions of PHP in my xampp with virtual hosts for different ports.

Didn't you thought this information could be relevant for your issue???

You unset PHPRC constant for your different PHP versions
Your PHPIniDir variable is only valid if running as php7 module
You commented out the entire PHP Apache Module setup

Where should PHP get its information where to find the configuration file?

Did you follow a tutorial or guide about how to configure multiple php versions in xampp or where did you get your information? Just wondering.

About your questions:

1) Yes it is extremely relevant but I am focusing on my problem which is PHP 7.4 that came in XAMPP and is in folder C:\xampp\php. Virtual hosts are OK for me now
2) Yes because I am following a tutorial and it already worked on another XAMPP installation with multiple PHPs
3) In PHP 7.4 that came with XAMPP it does not present the information about php.ini loaded. When I run <? php echo php_info (); ?> the variable "Loaded Configuration File" is "none"
4) Yes, I am using a tutorial that works perfectly. Remember that my problem is with PHP 7.4 defaults to XAMPP and not the other virtual hosts.

So?

Original XAMPP configuration

Code: Select all

#
# PHP-Module setup
#
LoadFile "C:/xampp/php/php7ts.dll"
LoadFile "C:/xampp/php/libpq.dll"
LoadFile "C:/xampp/php/libsqlite3.dll"
LoadModule php7_module "C:/xampp/php/php7apache2_4.dll"

Your configuration

Code: Select all

#
# PHP-Module setup
#
#LoadFile "C:/xampp/php/php7ts.dll"
#LoadFile "C:/xampp/php/libpq.dll"
#LoadFile "C:/xampp/php/libsqlite3.dll"
#LoadModule php7_module "C:/xampp/php/php7apache2_4.dll"

So where did you couple the original PHP 7.4.16 which comes with XAMPP with your Apache, if not in this lines as Apache module?

[ricardouel]

Sorry my friend. These 4 lines containing the "loadfile" should be uncommented. In some attempts to understand what each line performed I commented and forgot to uncomment. Everything is working now.

Thanks.

Ricardo.
