We have PHP 5.2.6 deployed to c:\php and in that folder there is the php.ini file. On Windows, can a website override these settings similar to the way that apache has .htaccess? e.g.

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html <IfModule mod_php5.c> php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off   php_flag register_globals off </IfModule> <IfModule mod_php4.c>   php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off  php_flag register_globals off </IfModule>

Update:

I was aware of ini_set() but wondered if there was a declarative way to do this in a configuration file in the website rather than in script.

  1. I would recommend doing all you can to avoid changing register_globals to on as it’s a major security hole.

    But you can try using init_set() to change the settings within your PHP code, although some settings cannot be changed once PHP has started running. (These are somewhat server dependent I believe.)
