How can I change PHP directives in php.ini or .htaccess?



Please see the following page from PHP.net that contains a list of directives that can be
changed in php.ini/.htaccess:

http://de3.php.net/manual/en/ini.php#ini.list

Example for php.ini/.htaccess file:

Linux Shared Hosting and Managed Servers running PHP as a CGI:

Filename: php.ini

upload_max_filesize = 10M
post_max_size = 10M

Managed Server running PHP as an Apache Module:

Filename: .htaccess

php_value post_max_size "10M"
php_value upload_max_filesize "10M"

NOTE:
You will not use a full php.ini file to make changes to PHP directives. The file should only contain
the directives to be changed, as in the example above. You will need a php.ini file in every directory
for which you want the changes to apply. Not all directives are changeable/installed. If you have
made a change in php.ini and it is not working correctly, please contact Technical Support for more information.
