custom php.ini doesn't apply for subdirectories??

[carock]

I had a customer create a php.ini file in their public_html. The phpinfo verifies this is the file loading.

They have some php code in a subdirectory public_html/library/somefile.php

Running the phpinfo page from the subdirectory shows the system global php.ini file, and not the one from public_html.

Is this normal to have to replicate the php.ini file to all subdirectories within public_html too?

Thanks,
Chuck

If you're running suPHP, then yes. Because you can't set various PHP directives .htaccess when running suPHP, you have to use a php.ini -- and it must be in any directory where there is code that is relying upon the particular modiications you are making to php.ini. php.ini is not recursive.

Hello,

There is a way to set php.ini per account in SuPHP. Please have a look at Some techie thoughts » Custom php.ini in cpaenl – SuPHP

Thank you.

If you have suPHP enabled on your server, then just add the following code in your .htaccess file (which is under public_html folder)

SetEnv PHPRC /home/username/public_html (path of php.ini file)

once set restart httpd and the settings will get apply to all the subsequent folders.

Spot On.. Absolutely correct. It's just that you don't need to restart apache

Hi,

You need to add the following in your .htaccess file if PHP is configured as suPHP in the server.

=======
suPHP_ConfigPath /home/cpaneluser/public_html ( the path in which custom php.ini is placed )
=======

If not the above one is given in .htaccess file, custom php.ini would be effective only to files in directory where php.ini is placed and should not apply to files in sub-folders.
