php.ini at directory level not working

[JoaoJose]

Hi there.

I can't seem to get php to use php.ini files besides my main file. I'm running php 5.1.6 on apache 2.

Any ideias on what may be causing this?

Thanks!

You can set PHP directives in per-directory context (Apache <Directory> containers in your Apache conf, or .htaccess files). You don't actually create another php.ini file. See the PHP manual pages on Runtime Configuration [php.net] and How to change configuration settings [php.net] for more information.
