To the release managers of PHP, please make sure that you do not overwrite
the php.ini file. Making the php.ini.defaults file in the */usr/local/lib*
is fine, but overwriting it when running *make install* is going to break
some setups. This happened in both 8.2.0RC1 and now 8.2.0RC2.

Please and thank you.

I thought the `php.ini.defaults` file was owned by the PHP build process,
and the proper way to use it is to copy it before modifying? I'm fairly
certain that's documented. This sounds like a "do it the wrong way at your
own risk" type thing?

Mark,

Running `make install` should not overwrite your system’s php.ini file. When the release managers package a PHP release, we do not do anything that would overwrite your system’s php.ini file.

Can you share more information about how you’re installing PHP and what behavior you are seeing? Be as detailed as you can. That’ll help us figure out if there’s a bug somewhere.

Cheers,
Ben

Thanks for the reply Ben, once I get home I’ll send what I did exactly.
