 Summary:          Multiple -d include_path command-line directives not
                   handled correctly
 Status:           Bogus
 Type:             Bug
 Package:          Scripting Engine problem
 Operating System: Any
 PHP Version:      5.3.2

 New Comment:

That's because you didn't use quotes around your value there, so the
shell ended 
your expression on the first semi-colon.  Not a PHP issue.

But notice that this case fails to register both paths:

php -d include_path=c:\php-5.2.8\PEAR;c:\php-5.2.8\PEAR\phpunit
test.php

- only the first path shows up.

It would be useful if the command-line version had a way to add
new directories to the include_path setting (after php.ini processing
has taken place).  I didn't see this in any existing bug.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

-d sets the setting, consequentially calls overwrite it, the last ones
wins. That's the only consistent way to do it ...

Description:
------------
If I try to specify more than one include_path directive on
the command-line, only one sticks.  WIth the following two
command-lines, I expected to see two entries, but only saw
the first.

1. Default case -- I see all three entries from my php.ini
$ php test.php
include_path=.;C:\apps\xampp\php\PEAR;c:\apps\smarty\libs

$ php -d include_path=c:\php-5.2.8\PEAR;c:\php-5.2.8\PEAR\phpunit
test.php
include_path=c:\php-5.2.8\PEAR

I was expecting to see both entries, not just the first.  I'd also
like an option to add to the existing include_path setting,
not just override it.


$ php -d include_path=c:\php-5.2.8\PEAR -d
include_path=c:\php-5.2.8\PEAR\phpunit test.php
include_path=c:\php-5.2.8\PEAR\phpunit

Here I get the second entry only.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
print "include_path=";
print ini_get("include_path");
print "\n";
?>

Expected result:
----------------
See the description.

Actual result:
--------------
See the description.
