Hi Nathan:
Another quick question regarding the use of the .htaccess file:
If I'm trying to set something like post_max_size, which takes a shorthand value such as 16M in place of the full value, will using the php_value type of statement also accept the shorthand value, or do I need to place in the full value?
Thanks again; this solution may be exactly what we need!
Jon

Hi Cristian:
Thanks for the replies.
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,
