- QUESTION:
- Personal PHP Configuration
ANSWER: - Many end users have requested the ability to setup custom settings in PHP( i.e. include_path, error_log, magic_quotes_gpc, sendmail_from...). Since we support two different versions of PHP, use the method below for your server's version.
PHP3:
This is fairly easy for end users to implement.
The user can modify his/her settings using a '.htaccess' file. To modify the settings in PHP3, the user will need to put the prefix 'php3_' before each of the settings he/she wants to modify. Below is an example of what the .htaccess file could look like:
----------------------------------------------------
php3_include_path "./:/usr/local/lib/php:/home/$user/www/php/"
php3_auto_prepend_file "/home/$user/www/php/prepend.php3"
php3_error_log "/home/$user/www/php/error_log"
php3_magic_quotes_gpc On
----------------------------------------------------
Notice that you set the options by stating the option that you wish to modify, followed by the value that you want to set it to.
PHP4:
With PHP4 there are two options for modifying the settings. The method above will work with a few changes and the end user can also change the settings actually in the PHP script. Below are the different ways to modify the settings:
Method 1:
Rather than preceding each option with 'php3_', you will need to precede the settings with one of two clauses: 'php_value ' or 'php_flag '. [Notice that these clauses are followed by a space.] The php_value setting allows you to modify an option that requires a value, while php_flag lets you modify an option that is either On or Off. Below is an example:
----------------------------------------------------
php_value include_path "./:/usr/local/lib/php:/home/$user/www/php/"
php_value auto_prepend_file "/home/$user/www/php/prepend.php3"
php_value error_log "/home/$user/www/php/error_log"
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc On
----------------------------------------------------
Method 2:
The settings can also be set in the actual PHP script using the command 'ini_set'. [Notice that the On/Off setting is now set with 1/0].
Example of this:
----------------------------------------------------
ini_set("include_path", "./:/usr/local/lib/php:/home/$user/www/php/");
ini_set("auto_prepend_file", "/home/$user/www/php/prepend.php3");
ini_set("error_log", "/home/$user/www/php/error_log");
ini_set("magic_quotes_gpc", 1);
phpinfo();
?>
