I'm having problems debugging cli scripts. I can debug web pages just
fine. I can usually run Zend's command line debugger until I hit a
module that I need loaded. I have tried changing the PHP executable to
Zend Core's, which has the proper modules and configuration. However,
I'm getting an errors because it's trying to read the configuration from
"C:\Windows" instead of the "C:\Program Files\Zend\Core\etc" directory.
How do I change this? Is this even the correct approach?

Thanks for your help.

Configuration directory might be overwritten inside Apache (PhpIniDir
directive).

have a look at http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php

Did not test it but setting PHPRC environment variable should help. You are
possible to set it within eclipse/ debug configuration at the environment
tab.

No dice. The PHPIniDir directive is not used within my Apache
configuration. Anyways, since this is a CLI problem, I don't see how
Apache is involved.

I ran phpinfo() from eclipse and got the following:
....
Configuration File (php.ini) Path => C:\WINDOWS
....
PHPRC => C:\Program Files\Zend\Core\etc
....

If I run from the cmd.exe command line I get correct results:
....
Configuration File (php.ini) Path => C:\Program Files\Zend\Core\etc\php.ini
....
PHPRC => C:\Program Files\Zend\Core\etc
....

I checked the IniFilePath setting in the registry, and it is correct. I
even tried passing '-c "C:\Program Files\Zend\Core\etc"' as a command
line argument within eclipse. It is still trying to read from
C:\Windows\php.ini.

OK. Do not know why but PDT copies my configuration file and inserts some
things (includes paths etc.). There seems to be no chance to overwrite
configuration directory at cli.

>> Configuration File (php.ini) Path => C:\WINDOWS

>> Loaded Configuration File => C:\Dokumente und
>> Einstellungen\mepeisen\Lokale Einstellungen\Temp\php.ini

This file will be created by PDT. It takes your PHP.ini located near your
PHP.exe. Simply place/copy your correct configuration file within the same
directory (at linux I use a link instead). At command line PHP does use
every environment variable and registry setting (as intended). But PDT
overwrites this with a special manipulated php.ini

I think PDT should respect any environment variable described in PHPs manual
to find the correct file. Maybe You can fill a bug report :-)

Thanks Martin! Copying the configuration alongside php.exe solves the
problem for me. I reported bug #205754.
