Duplicate config added in php.ini

[shivapoudel]

If I have deleted .vscode folder and again re-added XDebug configuration to VSCode then the config input in the php.ini is added multiple times... For my case I have tried to click the addon setting link overall 5time and if I delete the code and start the site still 5 times this is repeated:

[localbyflywheel]
xdebug.scream = 1
xdebug.show_local_vars = 1
xdebug.remote_autostart = 1
xdebug.remote_connect_back = 1
[localbyflywheel]
xdebug.scream = 1
xdebug.show_local_vars = 1
xdebug.remote_autostart = 1
xdebug.remote_connect_back = 1
[localbyflywheel]
xdebug.scream = 1
xdebug.show_local_vars = 1
xdebug.remote_autostart = 1
xdebug.remote_connect_back = 1
[localbyflywheel]
xdebug.scream = 1
xdebug.show_local_vars = 1
xdebug.remote_autostart = 1
xdebug.remote_connect_back = 1
[localbyflywheel]
xdebug.scream = 1
xdebug.show_local_vars = 1
xdebug.remote_autostart = 1
xdebug.remote_connect_back = 1

Now again if I switch to PHP 8.0 and come back to 7.4.1 all the localbyflywheel config in php.init are lost. I have to again click the button but my .vscode folder already exists. Need to give control to previous configurations. I have found this solution to fix the 5times adding config in php.ini by switching to next PHP version and being back to previous and clicking add config btn :D

@brandondove While I deactivate this addon and without switching PHP version, I started the site and amazed still the above configuration gets add up in the php.ini, was it cached somewhere??

Hey @shivapoudel -- I know this is an old issue, but the reason that changes to the php.ini don't persist is that they need to be made to the php.ini.hbs file for the site. That file is located:

~/Local Sites/<site-name>/conf/php/php.ini.hbs

Once those changes are made, restart the site in Local so that the changes are compiled down and loaded for the php process.
