PHP.INI & Building (And possibly Drupal)

Posted March 10th, 2008 by jakenuts

Hi,

I'm trying to learn PHP, Drupal & VSPHP all at the same time and I noticed that each time I "run" a project the PHP.INI in my source directory is overwritten and it contains some settings that Drupal needs. Do I need to update some global PHP.INI or is there a way to retain a specific one for this project and not lose it when I run.

Also, perhaps on another post, I don't seem to see much Intellisense in my PHP files. Like when I type "<?" that would be the perfect time for a snippet to show up with various options but no luck. The others that are defined like 'class' also don't seem to show up, any hints?

Visual Studio 2008
Latest build of VS.PHP (from today)
Vista SP1

Thanks!

James

    I recommend you make a copy of this file and change the php.ini path setting on the project properties to point to your file.

    Regarding intellisese, there should be some basic stuff show up in intellisense. If you want a particular php module to show up, you need to add it to the Php modules reference folder.

    Since you are using Drupal, I recommend you to add all the files in the include directory to the users references node in the project view.
