I don't want to move the php.ini file to my windows directory. As the
installation text suggests, I'd rather keep everything inside the
c:\php folder.

What do you mean change the path? The path of "doc_root"? It's pointed
to c:\php. Plus It's not going to do much good to change anything in
the .ini file if it's looking for the .ini file in the wrong
location... ie nothing I do in the php.ini file is going to be noticed
since it's not using it unless I copy it to the windows directory.
