AnalogX PHPConfig is a graphical front-end to PHP's php.ini file, where all of configuration of PHP takes place. It allows you to spend more time on your PHP code and less on tweaking their .ini file. It supports all of the standard PHP functionality, and has a special 'Unknown' tab to handle any 3rd party plugins, such as the Zend Optimizer, MSSQL and so on. PHPConfig does not have it's own data format, but instead loads up the same configuration file that PHP uses, and outputs directly to the same format. This ensures, that even if you're an advanced user and have an existing, already tweaked ini file - it will preserve the format and your custom additions or modification. PHPConfig makes PHP more accessible to novice users and offers a convenient, easier to manage configuration aid for advanced users. Also included is an auto-backup tool, that ensures that you can restore previous versions of your INI file.
