The manual at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php#configuration.file
implies that PHPRC, and starting PHP with the -c switch, is only for the
CLI or CGI versions. I am guessing but I suspect you have PHP as an
Apache DSO.

You would need to recompile PHP to change the location of php.ini. I
would ask yourself if you really _need_ php.ini somewhere other than in
/etc.
