Answer 1

Using the -c option, you can specify which php.ini file should be used :

php -c /etc/php.ini your-php-script.php

As a reference, see the output of php --help :

$ php --help
Usage: php [options] [-f]  [--] [args...]
       php [options] -r  [--] [args...]
       php [options] [-B ] -R  [-E ] [--] [args...]
       php [options] [-B ] -F  [-E ] [--] [args...]
       php [options] -- [args...]
       php [options] -a

  -a               Run as interactive shell
  -c | Look for php.ini file in this directory
  -n               No php.ini file will be used
  -d foo[=bar]     Define INI entry foo with value 'bar'
