Edit php.ini within PHP

ETbyrne · 08-15-2008, 05:03 PM

I was wondering if it is possible to edit your php.ini settings using a php script?

I need to set:
upload_max_filesize to 15M
post_max_size to 15M

BTW I don't have direct access to php.ini

Thanks!

PHP: ini_set - Manual

For most INI settings. However the two you specifically want to set need to be set from within either PHPs php.ini, or Apache's httpd.conf, OR .htaccess if your host permits. The syntax for setting PHP ini directives within .htaccess is like so;

Code:

# php_value ini_setting "new_value"
# for example:
  php_value post_max_size "15M"

-m

...or, with ini_set:

PHP Code:


			
ini_set('setting_name', 'value');

Which is where the link goes at the top of my post

However the two settings he wants to set can't be done via ini_set() they have to be done at the apache or PHP level.

Remember that upload_max_filesize & post_max_size is PHP_INI_PERDIR meaning they only can be set in php.ini, httpd.conf or .htaccess and not at dynamic runtime =)
