[php-maint] Bug#759195: Bug#759195: php5: invalid argument -delete for "-cmin"

[Ondřej Surý]

Hi Bastian,

strip the << -d "error_reporting='~E_ALL'" >>
from the php command line and re-run the php, e.g.:

php5 -c /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini -r 'print
ini_get("session.gc_maxlifetime"); print "\n";'

The script probably should be more fool-proof, I'll prepare something
for next security update.

Cheers,
Ondrej
