Local PHP.ini without overriding global

[Silent Ninja]

I've noticed that if I use a php.ini local all Zend modules get cleaned and all options from the php.ini global return to a default.

eg: if you enable register_globals, you'll also be enabling allow_url_fopen because it's on by default (i have it turned off).
eg: in the same case above, you'll enabling all functions because of disable_functions by defualt being empty, so you can now use sockets, exec... etc.

Is there a way to include the users php with the "Scan this dir for additional .ini files" option, that merges the configuration insted of overriding everything ?

I'm using suphp and fastcgi, both php5 and php4 have the same effect.

AFAIK this isnt possible, as php can only read one config file for its options

I know about that, but there's not possible to attach one on the user home so it gets appended with the original one? some kind of include maybe.
