Apache and php flags

using .htaccess?

[jehoshua]

Hi,

Is it true, that with php 5.3.0 , I will be able to use .htaccess to set php flags ?

The server I use has php running as CGI, so I can't use .htacess to modify php settings.

Am using version 5.2.10 , and modifying php.ini is out of the question, as it only changes the values in the path where the modified file is.

Thanks,

J

Anyone please ?

Or, should this be in the Apache forum ?

Hi jehoshua, here is the resource you need from the PHP Installation/Configuration manual pages, .user.ini files [php.net]

Be sure to read the pages linked in the left hand menu there too, they are loaded with information that will help you accomplish the task at hand.

Hi coopster, thanks very much for the link. I did test by adding a 'php_flag' to .htaccess , and I got a 500, as would be expected with CGI.

From prior testing with modifying php.ini (my own copy in web root), it only applied those settings in _that_ path, which is a real pain when there are many php scripts in different paths. I also tried 'ini_set' and it wouldn't propagate. :)

Anyway, I will read the info you have supplied, and see how that goes.

Thanks,

J
