Would that not just return the basic configuration settings for the CLI version of php? What if the OP has used a different php configuration for the apache php module, by using php configuration directives in the httpd.conf file? These php config settings would not show up when running the CLI version of php. Eg. /etc/php.ini ; open_basedir, if set, limits all file operations to the ; defined directory and below. This directive makes most ; sense if used in a per-directory or per-virtualhost web server ; configuration file. This directive is *NOT* affected by ; whether Safe Mode is turned On or Off. ; ; see also /etc/httpd.conf for overriding these settings for ; the apache php module. ; for CLI PHP version only open_basedir = "./:/tmp/:/loads/of/different/paths/here/:" ;open_basedir = "" /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf #========================================================================== # APACHE ACCESS TO FILESYSTEM & SERVER DOCUMENT TREE #========================================================================== <Directory /> Options None AllowOverride None Order Deny,Allow Deny from all # These are the only directories which apache's PHP module # can have access to. This setting overrides the default # settings in the global php.ini file, which applies to # the CLI version of PHP. # php_admin_value open_basedir '/path/to/apache/doc_root:/another/path/to/linked/files/' php_admin_flag display_errors OFF </Directory> So using the httpd.conf php_admin_xxx directives, I can selectively turn on php errors for my development directories, only accessible by me (localhost). Any publicly accesible directories get php error reporting turned off. I do my web development in a seperate protected development tree, and then push the live code into another 'accessible to all' branch.
