Thanks, Tyler. While the actual production copy is more or less
out of reach (hosted webspace) with little to set up for me it still
might work by having a cron script on the hosted server to either
propagate symlinks to php.ini into any folder with *.php files or to
modify .htaccess by adding a SetEnv line. The pitfall is that the
configurations of our local test area and those defined by that
php.ini may get apart over time. Yet activating it in the test area
will have it end up in the development working copies, too, rather
sooner than later since minor stuff is done and committed directly
from the test area (e.g. typos). Having some way to label items in
the repository to be ignored on normal checkout/update except
when purposely requested would eliminate this. Guess I have to
give this scripting of test/production environment some more
thoughts.
