Multibyte string input conversion disabled via .htaccess?

[Trisha]

Can 'Multibyte string input conversion' in PHP be disabled through .htaccess? If so how?

Or should this be asked in the htaccess forum?

(I'm trying to run drupal on a particular host and keep getting an error saying it must be disabled.)

Possibly.

When using PHP as an Apache module, it is possible to override those settings in each Virtual Host directive in

httpd.conf

or per directory with

.htaccess

. Refer to the Configuration section and Apache Manual for details.

Resource:
[php.net...]

Thanks, I looked at the php site - way over my head. I'll just use something else.

No problem, let's take a closer look ...

The directives are listed on that page in Example 4. Following the Configuration [php.net] link we find a section titled How to change configuration settings [php.net] (remembering of course that the note stated we must be using PHP as an Apache module). Using the directions provided, we should end up with the following directives to place in our

.htaccess

file:

;; Disable HTTP Input conversion 
php_value mbstring.http_input pass 
;; Disable HTTP Input conversion (PHP 4.3.0 or higher) 
php_flag mbstring.encoding_translation Off
