Overview

This interface means that you can configure file directives for a PHP model. These directives management how that model of PHP behaves – for instance, whether or not it limits scripts’ skills to entry or execute native information. You possibly can configure fundamental directives within the Primary Mode tab of this interface, or add new directives within the Editor Mode tab.

MultiPHP INI Editor

This editor has two tabs:

• Primary Mode – This tab hundreds directive values from the php.ini file in your chosen area or total account.
• Editor Mode – This tab opens a textual content editor the place you’ll be able to straight edit the php.ini file in your chosen area or total account.

Primary Mode

The menu shows a listing of every out there area title, together with the account’s Residence Listing. To use adjustments to all web sites you handle, choose Residence Listing. To use adjustments to a particular area, choose its area title. Your PHP directives will seem.

For safety functions, we strongly suggest that you simply use the cPanel-provided default values.

The provision of directives will depend on your model of PHP. If a directive doesn’t seem in your interface, your model of PHP does not assist it.

Make your adjustments to the specified directives and click on Apply. The system saves adjustments to the php.ini file, the consumer.ini file, and your .htaccess file if these information helps the directive. Your php.ini, .consumer.ini, and .htaccess information might not be similar. For extra details about which information assist which directives, learn PHP’s documentation.

To be taught extra about how PHP handles the php.ini file, learn PHP’s The configuration file documentation.

Make your changes to the desired directives and click Save.

The system saves changes to the php.ini file in the Path section of the interface, the .user.ini file, and the .htaccess file if that file supports the directive. Your php.ini, .user.ini, and .htaccess files may not be identical. For more information about which files support which directives, read PHP’s Where a configuration setting may be set documentation.

The interface attempts a rudimentary validation of directive names. This does not guarantee that your PHP configuration will function. To reset your PHP settings to default values, delete the domain’s or home directory’s php.ini file.

The DSO PHP handler and PHP major versions

If your server administrator enables the DSO PHP handler and you change your PHP version to a different major PHP version, the system will not read your configuration changes.

For example, if you change your PHP version from PHP 5 to PHP 7, the system will not read your configuration changes. To correct this issue, you must edit and save your PHP configuration again in the interface. The system will then load the .htaccess directives correctly.

The LSAPI module and the htaccess file

If your server administrator includes the LSAPI module in your PHP configuration, the system also adds an LSAPI section to your .htaccess file. This section might resemble the following example:

1
2
3
4
5

<IfModule lsapi_module>
      php_value date.timezone "America/Chicago"
      php_value memory_limit 128M
      php_value upload_max_filesize 60M
</IfModule>
