[php-maint] Bug#690964: libapache2-mod-php5: /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.conf uses 'php_admin_value' instead of 'php_admin_flag'

Package: libapache2-mod-php5
Version: 5.3.3-7+squeeze14
Severity: minor
The default configuration file /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.conf
sensibly disables the php interpreter for public_html directories by
using
php_admin_value engine Off
which actually disables the php engine. However, the semantics are
wrong, because 'engine' is a boolean value and should be set using
php_admin_flag instead of php_admin_value, according to
http://php.net/manual/en/configuration.changes.php
This confused me today and cost me a few hours of time. I tried to
re-enable the engine for a specific user by placing the following
code in /etc/apache2/conf.d/
<Directory /home/fritz/public_html>
php_admin_value engine On
</Directory>
This failed because the string 'On' is probably interpreted as the
number zero, which still disables the engine.
Please change the default configuration file to correctly use
php_admin_flag instead of php_admin_value in order to reduce the
possible confusion of users reading or modifying the configuration.
