Thanks to both of you....what I mean when I say I defined new variables
in php.ini is not that I added things but rather changed the value of
things that were already but not defined there and the changes do not
show.
Ok, clear.
We just call that something like 'setting php.ini variables'.

Without using PHPRC the line in phpinfo() is just
/usr/local/apache/conf.
From what I hear you putted yourself in the php.ini hell by having more
versions around.
Under most circumstances you only have 1 php.ini.
The PHPRC environment variable is just ONE WAY of pointing to a php.ini
file. see
www.php.net, chapter 9: runtime configuration for details.
My advise:
1) Make sure you know WHICH php.ini file is used (using PHPRC or whatever
means).
2) Restart apache (graceful) EVERY TIME you made changes to php.ini, so you
are sure the changes in php.ini are loaded in the webserver. (This is not
needed if you run PHP as CGI, but you don't do that I hope because it is
slow)
3) Now fix the php.ini so it does what you want it to do. In your case I
expect that phpmyadmin stopped working because you have the relevant so's
or dll's commented out in your php.ini, and you were using another php.ini
before.
Hope that helps.

Erwin Moller
PS: If you don't have a compelling reason to have many php.ini's around, I
advise you to delete/rename them all except the real one.
