Php.ini disable "Scan this dir for additional .ini files"?

Question

I want to lock my php configuration and disable loading other php configurations rather than the default (which in my case is located at /usr/local/php/lib/php.ini) I want to disable the "Scan this dir for aditional.ini" or if there's a way to set the vars from php.ini as permanent I would go for it.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance,
Me.

As an alternative that doesn't require recompiling PHP, you can set the PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR environment variable. If you are using PHP as an Apache module, you may add something like this to the Apache configuration file in which the PHP module is loaded:

SetEnv PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR /usr/local/zend/etc/conf.d/

If using CGI/FastCGI you can also use the -n -c command switches as noted here:

Much better solution. I'd rather use the system packages than recompile and manage it myself. – Matthew Scharley Sep 12 '11 at 03:20
This actually doesn't work when PHP is running as an Apache SAPI module. – Socio Nov 08 '12 at 09:53
It certainly does work, you just need to make sure your server has mod_env enabled and available for your use. – Dave Forgac Nov 08 '12 at 14:15
I dont know how to do it man... its not working... – Raheel Hasan Nov 25 '13 at 12:38
I added the environ var in the system, but still its not loading.. – Raheel Hasan Nov 25 '13 at 12:38
in debian and based : `echo "export PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR='/usr/local/lib/php/conf/apache2/conf.d'" >> /etc/apache2/envvars` and restart apache2 – ZiTAL Apr 25 '16 at 14:18
Pretty excited I found this. I can now disable xdebug for `composer` only by creating an `alias composer='PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR=/an/empty/dir composer'` – contrebis Aug 31 '16 at 11:19

In order to do this you need to recompile php and remove the option --with-config-file-scan-dir=/whateverdir/php.d
