But after I got all configured with 5.3 I noticed that the auto_prepend_file that I set in /opt/local/etc/php53/php.ini wasn't being used anymore.  A quick tour through Eclipse/XDebug led me to /opt/local/var/db/php53/pear/pear-ini.php being run instead which lead me to auto_prepend_file = '/opt/local/var/db/php53/pear/pear-ini.php' being set in /opt/local/var/db/php53/pear.ini.

Well it's telling you to edit /opt/local/etc/php53-pear/php.ini, not /opt/local/etc/php53/php.ini. I assume that's not a typo.

Not that I can tell.

I don't run a PHP server anymore but when I did, I did use my own auto-prepend file too, so it may be improper of the php5x-pear to take that setting over. I'm not sure what the best solution is.
