Hmm, I didn't realize this was the VIP support channel for packaging
issues, would likely expect that on aur-general. :/

I'm anyways not sure why you'd wish to exclude 99% of all arch users
from answering your question.

Like any other package, this PKGBUILD cannot invoke things as sudo or
try to mess with the system. Whether it is used via devtools or not, is
not the point.

The standard solution is to investigate language-specific mechanisms for
running with a different config file...

php --help lists two likely options. Pierre has already mentioned one of
them.
