See
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E51711_01/TSG/FAQ/Can%20I%20load%20an%20INI%20file%20from%20another%20INI%20file_.html

Therefore

$ tree /var/tmp/config
├── FSISYS.INI
├── FSIUSER.INI
└── sub
└── config.INI

$ cat FSISYS.INI
< INIFiles >
File = sub/config.INI

$ cat FSIUSER.INI
< INIFiles >
File = sub/config.INI

$ PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR=/var/tmp/config php -i \
| grep INI
PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR => /var/tmp/config
$_SERVER['PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR'] => /var/tmp/config

You can already guess that the file sub/config.INI is not loading.
Here is a more specific examination

$ PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR=/var/tmp/config php -i \
| grep sub/config.INI || echo NOT FOUND
NOT FOUND

Why?

Seems that most of the FAQ's are related to FSI, which I assume is one
of Oracles own products and those I wouldn't take that to mean all ini
files has support for loading another ini file with a setting.

php.ini is a quite well documented one and never documented that you
could load another ini file by giving it's location.

PHP do support loading additional/alternative ini files based on the web
service configuration, in general that is limited to load the ini file
that is located in the execution directory.

PHP not Oracles FSI, but you can always submit a patch to add this
behavior to PHP, then it's a question it the PHP developers will accept
it or not.
