While listening to someone complain through twitter about their MySQL conf file, I came up with a cool idea: what if I created a PHP.ini creator that would suggest changes to your php.ini file as well as generate an updated version?
Enter PHPIniCreator
As with most of my software, this is just a rough version to get the idea down on paper. I plan to update this as well as give a working example sometime in the future.
Features
- Parses a pasted php.ini file and generates a comparison table
- Allows you to change values on specific elements
- Generates a php.ini file to replace your existing one
As always, my todo list is great on this project:
- Add the entire php.ini database. Right now, there are only like 5 verified entries.
- Test for the input type of free form fields – don’t allow strings if they’re integer types, etc,
- Add client side JS to make the choosing of fields easier as well as accepting defaults
- Support different versions of PHP and their defaults
- Allow you to change values of php ini content that doesn’t exist in your version (currently, if you don’t have an entry for it, I force you to take mine)
- Documentation!
Yeh – its like that…
So without further ramblings, here is the file: phpinicreator.zip
