I installed PHP 4, Apache, and SQL on my home machine for development. I upgraded to PHP 5 to get squared away on it (even with the supposed bugs in XP) and yesterday it worked great with globals registered, SQL running and the GD & SQL libraries loading. I restarted my computer and now it doesn't seem that the php.ini file is being read. I run scripts that require globals to be registered and they are breaking. I fixed php.ini, restarted, erased all php.ini files, restarted (PHP worked still), replaced php.ini, restarted (still no luck), and ran db scripts that didn't require globals and found that the globals wasn't my only problem, php isn't loading any libraries which leads me to believe that php.ini is not being read. I didn't move any files between yesterday (working) and restarting (bad). Double-yew tee eff?
