This would be a huge security hole! You don't want your php.ini there!

Yes - because PHP is loaded as Apache module. This means that Apache
will only load the PHP module *once* and not for every single request.

Why?

1) You can use ini_set() (see
<http://php.net/manual/de/function.ini-set.php>) to override settings if
needed.

2) You can use an .htaccess file to override PHP settings if needed

3) You can use PHP as CGI and not module - so it will be loaded for
every request and therefore load the settings as well for every request.
I would not recommend this for production sites due to the worse
performance compared to the module (which only has to be loaded once
when Apache starts) - but for testing purposes this should be OK.

4) You can use PHP with FastCGI using mod_fcgi and an appropriate
wrapper script, if you need specific settings for one site where you
pass the site specific php.ini to the PHP runtime (and/or customized
settings for the site)
