Your php.ini should have root as its owner and be set to 600, if your
using apache server then apache must start as root, the php.ini file is
read only once by root when the server starts - so that setting should
not cause problems, however if using the cli then you should also make
/etc/php.ini readable by all other users (permissions 644).

Not sure why the suse folks would put both --enable-cli and
--disable-cli but i notice they also have --with-pear and
--without-pear, which takes precedence im not completely sure but would
think the last one would so you probably have pear and the cli installed
despite the --disable and --without lines, if i remember correctly the
cli is required to use pear so --disable-cli would force --without-pear,
i would suggest you compile your own version.
