Comment(by dd32):

 > But the committed changes make no explicit mention of "php.ini" or
 either setting. Should it?

 In my opinion, No. there are 2 sets of people who'll encounter this issue:
  * Shared hosting users - They have to contact their host regardless.
  * Dedicated setups
   * End user using it - Server configuration, contact the sys admin
   * Sys admin - Should understand that they need to edit their php.ini
 file

 What i'm saying, Is that, In my opinion, its not worth confusing some
 users who cant find their php.ini file as they dont have access to it, and
 instead just refer to it as a server config error.. If a Sys admin comes
 accross it, They should already know they need to setup PHP correctly.

 ..And if all else fails, Googling the error will bring up a least 1
 support forum thread on it at some point.
