I moved php.ini to c:\windows and I called phpinfo:
Configuration File (php.ini) Path C:\WINDOWS
I goto C:\windows and move it back to c:\php. Reload phpinfo:
Configuration File (php.ini) Path C:\WINDOWS
Both clear my browser cache and try it with a different browser:
Configuration File (php.ini) Path C:\WINDOWS
I goto c:\windows:
php.ini is not there anymore
Do an F3 search:
php.ini is only in c:\php
My extension directory line from phpinfo:
extension_dir C:\php5
My extension directory line from php.ini:
extension_dir = "c:\php\ext"
I do a search inside the file php.ini for the string "php5":
Cannot find "php5"

I don't believe I've done heavy editing to this file at all. Just
changed the error reporting level. Shouldn't php complain if the file
is corrupt? How could it be finding a phantom php file?

Thanks for the help,

Jack
