Question

I have EasyPHP 5.3.6.0 local server, (with PHP 5.3.6) and it works fine in my browser. However, using the PHP executable on the command line doesn’t work without problems.

I have noticed that command line didn’t load the php.ini file:

C:\\> php --ini

Output:

Configuration File (php.ini) Path: C:\Windows
Loaded Configuration File:         (none)
Scan for additional .ini files in: (none)
Additional .ini files parsed:      (none)

Btw, there isn’t a php.ini file in the ‘C:\Windows’ directory. My server (apparently) uses the ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-5.3.6.0\apache\php.ini’ file.

When I translate PHP files I get a warning:

Warning: date_default_timezone_get(): It is not safe to rely on the system’s timezone settings. You
are required to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case
you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled th
e timezone identifier. We selected ‘Europe/Helsinki’ for ‘3.0/DST’ instead in C:\Program Files (x86)
\EasyPHP-5.3.6.0\home\timezone.inc.php on line 2

I got no warnings when I used the ‘php -c …’ command, but I’d like permanently set an .ini file to use with a command line.

Answer 1

php is just saying that’s where it expects the php.ini file to be. One option is to copy the ones from the web server and modify them as necessary.
