>&#13;    The configuration file (called <TT
CLASS="filename"
>php3.ini</TT
> in
    PHP 3.0, and simply <TT
CLASS="filename"
>php.ini</TT
> as of PHP 4.0)
    is read when PHP starts up. For the server module versions of PHP,
    this happens only once when the web server is started. For the
    <SPAN
CLASS="acronym"
>CGI</SPAN
> and <SPAN
CLASS="acronym"
>CLI</SPAN
> version, it happens on
    every invocation.

>&#13;    The default location of <TT
CLASS="filename"
>php.ini</TT
> is a compile time option (see the <A
HREF="faq.installation.html#faq.installation.phpini"

> entry), but can be changed
    for the <SPAN
CLASS="acronym"
>CGI</SPAN
> and <SPAN
CLASS="acronym"
>CLI</SPAN
> version with the
    <TT
CLASS="literal"
>-c</TT
> command line switch, see the chapter about using
    <TT
CLASS="literal"
>PHP</TT
> from the <A
HREF="features.commandline.html"

    environment variable <TT

    search for a <TT
