If the host allows it, you can override it in .htaccess, but I've not been able to do so on the couple sites I've touched that were hosted on by a shared hosting provider. In those cases, I WAS able to create my own php.ini file in the web root folder and configure it as needed. Of course, if you do that you should also configure Apache to not serve that file if requested. Andrew -- You're right, you can't change register_globals in script but you can query it in script, which is what I was referring to. There aren't many settings you can change in script, about the only useful one that we use is max_execution_time. Either way, what I find in testing is that on our host php returns the value reported in phpinfo as the "local value" which is correct, because that's the value that should be in effect (combination of httpd.conf, php.ini, .htaccess and values set in script), but the value that's actually in effect is the master value. For example, if php.ini sets register_globals on and .htaccess sets register_globals off, then the code ini_get('register_globals') reports register_globals is off (it's reporting the local value) but in fact register_globals is on. In this particular case our app would stop with a configuration error if it found register_globals on, but it thinks it's off so happily carries on. Local is supposed to override master values but they have master overriding local values. I'm trying to confirm that local is supposed to override master, and find a proper reference that I can show to my hosting guys. I searched php.net but they don't mention which one takes precedence. Anyone know of any references? BTW Andrew, were those hosting servers that wouldn't allow override in .htaccess running FastCGI? Maybe FastCGI doesn't allow config settings in .htaccess but I can't find anything conclusive about that either.
