Hi Nathan: I'm not certain if I have all of the items you've mentioned, but I'll look into it. And thanks for the link; I'll check that out, too.

In this case, what I've been noticing is that most of the values have gone DOWN (i.e., gotten smaller) after I placed my own php.ini file in place. For example, upload_max_filesize was 8M before I placed my file, but, afterwards, it was 2M! I'm trying to increase this size, not decrease it. Could it be the line-ending characters that are causing the problem? Could PHP be seeing the new file but not realizing how to process it, which would cause the values to flop over to their defaults? do you have ssh access to the server? i recommend you start out by creating the simplest file you can by editing it directly on the linux server, via vim or w/e. then using a phpinfo() script, you should see your overridden value in the left column (those are for the locally overridden values). some other things to note are; 1.. apache must be properly configured to allow the .htaccess overrides. 2.. you cant override all the values in php.ini; see the documentation regarding which ones can be overriden and where here is an article regarding the process, http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_php.ini_overrides_w/_.htaccess -nathan
