Would you consider compiling PHP with this option:

--with-config-file-scan-dir /home/vcap/app/php/etc/php.d

And then providing some mechanism for the buildpack to copy .ini files
from a known location into that directory?

This is probably not necessary as there's a bunch of ways to override PHP
config currently. You mentioned `.user.ini` files which is a great option,
you can also use `.htaccess` files assuming you're using HTTPD which is the
default web server configured by the build pack, you can override the
entire default build pack php.ini with the method mentioned here [2] and
you can do dynamic generation as I mentioned in `.profile` / `.profile.d`.

You can include a `.profile.d/` script or a `.profile` script. It depends
on exactly what you're trying to do as to which one would be better to use,
but I believe most of the time you'd want the `.profile` script. You can
see more about it in the docs here.

You can essentially do whatever you want in this script. Plus you'll have
access to everything that the PHP build pack has configured for you and
you'll have access to all the environment variables. This means you can
run PHP scripts or examine VCAP_SERVICES. The only catch is that these
scripts runs prior to your application starting so they must run and your
application must start within the defined timeout (default 60s, max 180s on
most platforms).

If you want to integrate with the build pack and do something during
staging or if you need more time (cause staging typically runs for up to
900s), you can add a build pack extension. These are written in Python and
run as a part of the build pack. Instructions on doing that can be found
here.

Hope that helps!
