Question

How do I edit php.ini when my host doesn’t give me access to the core file? Is there a way to create a “sub” php.ini? If so, how would I make my apps pick up the subsequent file and use that instead of the master file (that I don’t have access to edit)? It’s a typical shared web host if that matters.

If your host allows it, you can use an Apache directive in an .htaccess file to override the INI path. (Most shared hosts, however, don’t allow this.)

You might also be able to change certain individual settings via the ini_set() function in your script – again, if your host allows it.
