WampServer

When I searched the dir tree I found two php.ini configuration files:

1.) D:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.17\bin\
2.) D:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.5\

What is the difference?

Which one is really necessary to control PHP?

its pretty simple

the apache one is used for websites.

the php one is used for the wamp menu and php if your not making a site

Ok, thank you.

But when you write

"the php one is used for the wamp menu and php if your not making a site"

I don't understand. As far as I know PHP is always and only used to create webpages/sites.

So which purpose can exist beside the one serving Apache?

What do you mean with Wamp menu? The Systray Icon centextmenu???

php is not a website language only.

the wamp menu is populated using php. i make php programs etc.

its a general scripting language.


so if your using php through apache.. as in .. making a website.. it will use the one in apache.


wamps menu uses the one in the php folder. and if you wanted to run a php script that is not a website.. you shoudl use the one in the php folder.


try google php cli or winbinder for other good uses of php
