Question

I’m running php vs. 4.1.14 on yahoo with phpMyAdmin.
it says the file is at /usr/lib/php/php4.ini but I can’t find this anywhere.
Is it in the phpMyAdmin folder? I really need to find this and turn of magic_quotes soon or I’m gonna go postal. Thanks.

Okay So i guess It wasn’t that clear. I did phpinfo(). I don’t know how to find that location on the server…..

Answer 1

Finding php.ini on a dedicated server can be done easily by phpinfo (as others said)

But I think you’re using a shared hosting environment (so you can not edit php.ini) and actually need to turn off magic_quotes_gpc. (Am I right?)
If so, simply create a file named .htaccess in the web root (or phpMyAdmin root) and put the following line in that.

php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off  

Hope to help 🙂
