Certainly some php_value directives can be over-ridden in .htaccess, regardless of whether they were set globally in httpd.conf or in a VirtualHost or Directory block. Equally certainly, some cannot be over-ridden. I am almost 100% certain that php_value makes no distinction between *where* in httpd.conf the setting comes from. I daresay php_value in .htaccess can't even tell the difference from one part of httpd.conf to the other. http://php.net/ has a page devoted to describing exactly which php_value settings can be over-ridden where. Check that. It's also possible that once auto_prepend_file is set, it's set, and that's it -- Regardless of where it is set, you're stuck with it at that value. So it's more of a 'define' for a constant that some kind of variable you can change on a whim. Part of that could easily be to provide web host administrators with a way to guarantee that some PHP code of theirs gets run no matter what their clients may try to do... Which I could see might be handy for some hosts, and they'd not want it over-ridden. These last two paragraphs are pure speculation on my part. But it could be true, and it wouldn't really fit into that nifty chart in the manual. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
