Yes, it appears that >=5.5 uses templates for php.ini, at least I'm seeing them on my 5.5:

/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/php.ini/

 00PHP
 10LanguageOptions
 20ResourceLimits
 30ErrorHandling
 40DataHandling
 50PathsDirectories
 60FileUploads
 65FopenWrappers
 70DynamicExtension00
 70DynamicExtension30imap
 70DynamicExtension50ldap
 70DynamicExtension70mysql
 80ModuleSettings
 template-begin

Doing some spelunking of these (very unfamiliar territory) in "70DynamicExtension00" I've come across the instructions:

 #;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
 # Dynamic Extensions ;
 #;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
 # if you wish to have an extension loaded automaticaly, use the
 # following syntax:  extension=modulename.extension
 # Note that it should be the name of the module only, no directory information
 # needs to go here.  Specify the location of the extension with the
 # extension_dir directive above.}

Which leads me to believe this is to be a double edit. Anyone care to confirm? [Thanks]

ps yes I'll make this into a How-To when done, I'm 1/2way there already

Perfect, that's the information I needed to confirm/help you out (and others running 5.5).

mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/php.ini
pico -w /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/php.ini/70ionCube01

[Add the lines]
; PHP Accelerator extension
zend_extension="/path/to/php_accelerator_1.3.2.so"
[Save]

/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/php.ini
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart

Make a custom template /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/php.ini/75phpa, and put the stuff needed by phpa into that file.  Expand the template, restart httpd, and see what happens.  Worst case you would have to delete 75phpa and re-expand the template.
