Not to be prude but all these "work-arounds" go against what the
included instructions in the official PHP download say to do. It
explicitely says "leave the php.ini file in the c:\php folder"... Did
the PHP team just make a mistake in the installation instructions or is
this a bug with the current release of PHP 5.1.4? It just seems a
little aggravating...
