PHPIniDir directive

http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.manual.php says:

Copy your chosen ini-file to a directory that PHP is able to find and
rename it to php.ini. PHP searches for php.ini in the following
locations (in order):

*

PHPIniDir directive (Apache 2 module only)

I know what a directory is, but what in the world is a location called a
directive ?

Then, later, the manual says: " If you are running Apache 2, the simpler
option is to use the PHPIniDir directive (read the installation on
Apache 2 page),"

when I go to Apache 2 installation page, there is nothing there about
PHPIniDir.

Goes in httpd.conf, the Apache configuration file, for example:

PHPINIDir D:/php-5.0.1-Win32
LoadModule php5_module "D:/php-5.0.1-Win32/php5apache2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

OK sorry, There IS something about PHPIniDir on the " installation on
Apache 2 page" where it says
\# configure the path to php.ini
PHPIniDir "C:/php"
