How to change the value of a PHP setting?You can apply custom PHP settings on a per-folder basis using a local php.ini file.
For example, you need register_globals set to On in a directory. For this purpose you should log in your cPanel and go to the File Manager. There navigate to the directory where you'd like this setting applied. In this directory create a file php.ini containing:
register_globals = On
Since the custom file will override the settings in the global php.ini file, you should also add the path to the Zend extensions. Depending on the PHP version you are using, you should add:
- for PHP 5.2:
[Zend]
zend_extension=/usr/local/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so
zend_extension_manager.optimizer=/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer-3.2.2
zend_extension_manager.optimizer_ts=/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer_TS-3.2.2
zend_optimizer.version=3.2.2
zend_extension=/usr/local/Zend/lib/ZendExtensionManager.so
zend_extension_ts=/usr/local/Zend/lib/ZendExtensionManager_TS.so
- for PHP 5.1:
[Zend]
zend_extension=/usr/local/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.1.so
zend_extension_manager.optimizer=/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer-3.3.0
zend_extension_manager.optimizer_ts=/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer_TS-3.3.0
zend_optimizer.version=3.3.0
zend_extension=/usr/local/Zend/lib/ZendExtensionManager.so
zend_extension_ts=/usr/local/Zend/lib/ZendExtensionManager_TS.so
- for PHP 5.0.5:
[Zend]
zend_extension=/usr/local/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.0.so
zend_extension_manager.optimizer=/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer-3.0.1
zend_extension_manager.optimizer_ts=/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer_TS-3.0.1
zend_optimizer.version=3.0.1
zend_extension=/usr/local/Zend/lib/ZendExtensionManager.so
zend_extension_ts=/usr/local/Zend/lib/ZendExtensionManager_TS.so
Please note that you should place the php.ini file in every folder where you need the custom PHP settings to apply.
