Hello,

Those files are generated automatically as part of the MultiPHP INI Editor functionality. This allows customers to edit their PHP configuration options while ensuring the changes remain applied if the PHP handler changes in the future. You can disable the "MultiPHP INI Editor" feature in "WHM >> Feature Manager" for the feature lists associated with your accounts if you want to prevent customers from making those changes. Additionally, if you want to prevent custom user.ini files from working, you may find this third-party URL helpful:

How to disable custom user.ini files in public_html for Easyapache 4 - Bobcares

Note there's a slight change to this behavior once you upgrade to cPanel version 66:

EasyApache 4 PHP configuration changes
We removed the use of local.ini files in EasyApache 4. WHM's MultiPHP INI Editor interface (Home >> Software >> MultiPHP INI Editor) now saves changes to the php.ini file rather than the local.ini file.
Thank you.
