[drupal-support] I'll try anything

[Dan Robinson]

Sorry if this is considered off-topic - but I've been trying to get some
Drupal (4.6) work done and have been beating my head against this all day -

I'm having a wierd problem.  I'm setting up my laptop (winxp home) to do
some dev. work - I have previously installed apache 1.x and PHP 4.3.10.
I can't get the "memory_limit" ini setting to "take".  It is clearly
(and I believe correctly) set in my ini file -

memory_limit = 8M      ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume
(8MB)

Which is the default when you set up PHP.  When I do a phpinfo() it
simply doesn't report anything - doesn't show up.  Other variables can
be set in that ini file and they do show up.

I have tried to manually set it but that doesn't work.  I try this:

print "here I am: ".ini_get('memory_limit')."</br>";
print "here I am: max size: ".ini_get('post_max_size');

and I can see post_max_size but not memory_limit.  I have tried with
both the cgi and dll flavors of PHP.  I deeply suspect a stupid MS
trick.  HELP!

Needless to say everything is working fine in linux land - I just got
done there in 2 minutes what I have spent all day doing so far - but I
would like to be able to work on my laptop (no jokes about installing
linux on my laptop please - I've had enough today already).

Thanks in adavance,

Dan
