Thanks for your comment! I haven't tried out XAMPP -- I'll do that myself (on my Mac).
Unfortunately, I think it's not much of a solution to the problems outlined above because it requires using the command-line interface. That's too difficult for most people: If they can do that, they can edit PHP.ini just as easily.
Still, I'm sure this options will help someone, so thanks again.
