From: php-bugs at sievers dot dialup dot fu-berlin dot de Operating system: PHP version: 5.5Git-2013-05-17 (Git) Package: CGI/CLI related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Search for .user.ini files from script dir up to CONTEXT_DOCUMENT_ROOT
Description: ------------ Currently PHP-CGI searches for .user.ini files in the script directory and all parent directories up to DOCUMENT_ROOT. See: http://php.net/manual/en/configuration.file.per-user.php If Apache web servers use the UserDir module the php scripts lie out of the DOCUMENT_ROOT, which causes PHP-CGI to search only in the script directory for .user.ini files. This is inconvenient for users, who have to copy their .user.ini files to all sub-directories in order to apply their settings. Since Apache 2.3.13 there is an additional CONTEXT_DOCUMENT_ROOT variable, which is set by mod_userdir and probably mod_alias accordingly. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12129433/what-is-servercontext-prefix/12129649#12129649 PHP-CGI could use this variable (if set) to search for .user.ini files. It could search from the script directory up to CONTEXT_DOCUMENT_ROOT. If the variable is not set, PHP-CGI should use DOCUMENT_ROOT as it has before. Even other web servers (e.g. Apache 2.2) can profit from this change, since it's easy to set CONTEXT_DOCUMENT_ROOT variable via a RewriteRule directive. Apache http's suexec support the CONTEXT_DOCUMENT_ROOT variable too: *) suexec: Add environment variables CONTEXT_DOCUMENT_ROOT, CONTEXT_PREFIX, REDIRECT_ERROR_NOTES, REDIRECT_SCRIPT_FILENAME, REQUEST_SCHEME to the whitelist in suexec.
