Hi I'll deal with the first issue as I've had to debug similar issues before.

apache sometimes/usually gets its own php.ini and sometimes that php.ini 
doesn't exist so it defaults to rubbish.

Look at adding a phpinfo() call in a page and then run that from a browser - 
in the copious output it'll tell you the path to it's php.ini.

you'll get something like this web page here (they are a random google victim)
