PHP_flags in .htaccess

Allowing users to use PHP_flags in their .htaccess

[jlimited]

Hello,

I am not sure if this is the right forum for this, but maybe you can point in the right direction.

I recently switched servers...One of my users had PHP_flags in his .htaccess file. At the time I did not know that. My old server supported this, my new server does not.

How can I make this work?

Thanks

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, jlimited.

If your new server does not support per-directory overrides (.htaccess) and you aren't allowed (likely the case) to modify the configuration files such as httpd.conf then the only alternative is to see if ini_set() [php.net] is going to work and call that on every PHP page.

Not being able to modify certain configuration directives is probably going to be a nuisance down the road though. Maybe another host is worth your time and money?

I have control over the http.d config file. As well as the php.ini file. I am the web host and until yesterday, I thought everything was working fine.

Where would I find information on the mods i need to make so that my users can place php_flags in thier .htaccess file?

Thanks

Have a look at the Apache AccessFileName [httpd.apache.org] configuration directive to get you started.
