.htaccess Issues With Macports Apache Install

[Steve Edwards]

On my MacBook Pro, I installed Apache/MySQL/PHP using MacPorts. I'm 
running PHP 5.2.9 and Apache 2.2.11.  It works great, except for a 
couple things.  For some reason, the .htaccess file cannot have the 
following lines
 in it:

# PHP 5, Apache 1 and 2.
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
  php_value magic_quotes_gpc                0
  php_value register_globals                0
  php_value session.auto_start              0
  php_value mbstring.http_input             pass
  php_value mbstring.http_output            pass
  php_value mbstring.encoding_translation   0
</IfModule>

When they are, I get the following error message in my Apache error log:

 /Users/steve/Sites/myartleague/.htaccess: php_value not allowed here

However, if I comment them out and put them in httpd.conf, I don't get 
the error.  However, this is a pain, since I have to modify the 
.htaccess any time it's updated.

What's odd is that I have AllowOverride All set in httpd.conf.  You can 
see it at http://pastebin.com/m4e09f963.

In addition to that, extensions only work with separate .ini files.  For 
instance, xdebug will only work if I have xdebug.ini in 
/opt/local/var/db/php5.  If I have the xdebug settings in php.ini, they 
are not recognized.  They are only recognized in the xdebug.ini.  
phpinfo shows a "Scan this dir for additional .ini files " setting with 
a value of /opt/local/var/db/php5, which apparently seems to mean that 
that directory has to be used.

If anyone can shed some light on why I might be having these issues, I'd 
appreciate it.

Thanks.

Steve
