Hi, The settings are not read by the web server, but by PHP. When PHP is instaled as an ISAPI module (or an apache module) it is loaded into memory when the web server is started (or on the first php request). When PHP is in memoryit will not read the php.ini settings again. This is one of the benefits of using ISAPI, but if you make changes to php.ini you have to restart the web server. - Frank > Ignorant question: why would the web server like to read the php.ini > file? > > On Tue, 2003-12-09 at 06:47, Frank M.
