Is /etc/php.d a standard part of *every* php4 installation? Can I rely
on it's existance? Is it's location a configuable option?

Thanks,
Mike

No, you can't rely on it.
What's in there?

It is a distribution specific directory. Some uses it other not.

The PHP releases (http://www.php.net/downloads.php) rely only on one
php.ini, which is configurable.

Actually, there is also an option that allows you to scan a specific
directory for ini files as well:

--with-config-file-scan-dir=/etc/httpd/extra-ini

Something I'd like to see more distros make use of.  I am not sure how
to get the ball rolling on that though, but it makes packaging up
extensions so much easier when all you need is to drop a foo.ini file in
a directory instead of trying to modify a single ini file.

I think all modern distros use this option (afair fedora, debian and
ubuntu do at least).

RHEL 4 / Centos and Freebsd also use this option.
