weird php problems

php memory limit

[thedark1]

im currently hosting a couple of sites on a vps....php 4.4.3 is installed with the default php.ini config.... and phpinfo was not displaying any php memory limit at all...i switched to the recomended php.ini settings and changed memory_limit to 16M, but still nothing displaying in phpinfo....what can be causing this? does zend have anything to do with that? i also noticed that my vps was using 9 gb space, but after the new php.ini file, became just 7.5 gb space....where has the 1.5 gb gone? is it a swap file? or log files?

I'd appreciate any feedback as I'm totally lost here...

thanks...

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, thedark1! :)

If the changed in your php.ini are not being shown in your phpinfo there's a few things you have to check:
1) Did you restart apache?
2) Are you editing the correct php.ini file?

If you answered no to either of those questions then that's your answer.

If you answer yes, then it seems quite strange. Check your syntax, make sure nothing is wrong. I don't think Zend will have any affect on this, but who knows with Zend ;)

As for your missing disk space, 1.5 GBs is a lot of space to just go missing without your knowledge. This should have nothing to do with your php.ini file, so you are going to have to look into that a little further. If you can't find your answer, then maybe contacting your host is a good idea.
