Hi, Scotty,

You do NOT want to have your php.ini file ANYWHERE under a 
DOCUMENT_ROOT.  That is a huge security exposure.

And what's wrong with where it is?  PHP will use the same php.ini file 
for all invocations if you're running it as an Apache module.  You won't 
get different ones for different websites.

That is correct operation.  Parsing it for every page would be 
unnecessary overhead.

Are you running PHP as an Apache module on the production server?

It is not possible (and not advisable).

But you can put additional PHP options in your Apache configuration file 
(and .htaccess if it Apache is configured to use it).  You can't change 
some things (like which external modules are loaded), but you can most 
options.  See http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.list.php for more 
information.
