php value directives ignored in .htaccess

[noyearzero]

php_value upload_max_filesize 100M
php_value post_max_size 100M
php_value max_execution_time 14400
php_value max_input_time 14400

that is the contents of my .htaccess file. however according to phpinfo() the values don't reflect those. i know the htaccess file is working because it obeys redirects. is there something maybe in the php.ini file that restricts overwriting of these values in .htaccess?

No, but are you using shared hosting? Many shared hosting providers do not allow you to override php configuration directives in this manner.

it is a shared hosting cPanel server that we own. We don't have direct access to it, but our server guys will modify anything we want on it. i have a copy of the httpd.conf file from it and i can't find what part of it is disallowing the commands in htaccess files.

Where are you running the phpinfo() script at? At or below the directory containing the .htaccess file?
