This is for Linux hosting accounts only! Related documents: Since we run PHP as CGI, you can create your own php.ini and place it beside your scripts. So simply create a blank file named php.ini and put the following inside: [PHP] variable = value; variabl2 = value2; Where variable and variable2 are php.ini variables. For example, if you need to set the memory_limit to 128M and post_max_size to 64M, you would put the following inside your php.ini file - [PHP] memory_limit = 128M; post_max_size = 64M; Here is another example of a php.ini file content [PHP] max_execution_time = 60 memory_limit = 256M upload_max_filesize = 256M post_max_size = 256M Make sure to upload the php.ini beside the script that is being called from the browser. The php.ini must exist in the same directory. More common variables are: * file_uploads * upload_max_filesize * max_input_time * memory_limit * max_execution_time * post_max_size After you created the php.ini file, you can now create the phpinfo.php file with these 3 lines in it, which will show you if the settings you created are correct: <?php phpinfo(); ?> | |

This doesn't appear to work on ASP (Windows).
RESPONSE: Yes, unfortunately, you can not set your own php.ini variables on Windows. Please purchase a linux account or request the change through our support.

i put a file inside the public_html where my script is ( adult video script ) but the script do not take the change, i don't understand?
please help me!
RESPONSE: You can test and see if your environment is taking the changes inside php.ini by simply creating a blank file with the following inside: <? phpinfo(); ?> and then saving it as phpinfo.php and uploading it. Then, visit phpinfo.php to see if the new variable values are present.

Contact your host to find out what session save path to use, then add this to config/user_setup.php:

This is normally done in a local php.ini file. If you create a support ticket, I am sure we can do it for you.

You can try following the steps in the guide or contact our support. Most of our servers have magic_quotes disabled by default.
