How to modify php directives in htaccess

[happycloud]

Hello,

I see that it is possible to put some php config directives in htaccess, however, everytime I try this, my server gives me an error. I have tried a lot of options, straight out of manual. None work. My guess is that I have to tell either php or apache to allow this but I have no idea how.

Here is my latest try:

php_flag magic_quotes_gpc On

This gives the error: Invalid command php_flag..perhaps mispelled or defined by a module not included in the served config

Any ideas?

Thanks
Joshua

Which version of apache? Apache 2 doesn't support changing php options in the httpd.conf yet, which I'd assume extends to htaccess.

If not apache 2, do you have the correct Overrides in that directory?

Are you using IfModule?

<IfModule mod_php4.c>

php_flag register_globals off

php_value include_path ".:/home/ahundiak/include:/usr/local/lib/php"

php_value display_errors on

</IfModule>

Rock on!

Is this working in Apache 2 now?

My hoster is still using Apache 1.3.27
