Seems that most of the FAQ's are related to FSI, which I assume is one 
of Oracles own products and those I wouldn't take that to mean all ini 
files has support for loading another ini file with a setting.

php.ini is a quite well documented one and never documented that you 
could load another ini file by giving it's location.

PHP do support loading additional/alternative ini files based on the web 
service configuration, in general that is limited to load the ini file 
that is located in the execution directory.

PHP not Oracles FSI, but you can always submit a patch to add this 
behavior to PHP, then it's a question it the PHP developers will accept 
it or not.
