I am trying to obtain the value that is set in /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf for LimitRequestBody and it fails every time:
echo ini_get('LimitRequestBody') . '<P>' . get_cfg_var('LimitRequestBody');
This produces:
In short, nothing. I am trying to obtain this variable set up by a PHP config file but I can't obtain yet in php.conf I see it clearly.
Help!
Thanx
Phil
those two functions are looking at php.ini not php.conf which is why they are returning nothing.
why not simply use file_get_contents() to grab /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf and then check for that directive.
Wow! That is a very elaborate method to get something like that, but perhaps the best method is to obtain it once and set into a $_SESSION variable

This is what I came up with to display the value of LimitRequestBytes, very elaborate for just a simple thing, and I betcha somewhere out there in PHPland this could be done much more simply:
/*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is no native method in PHP to obtain a value that is in a separate CONFIG file, particularly
/etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf, therefore, you will have to obtain it yourself the hard way: splice up the
file and retrieve and set into a session variable, or, obtain from the existing session variable
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
function &getLimitRequestBody() {
global $limitRequestBodyFilePath;
if ($_SESSION['limitRequestBody']) {
return $_SESSION['limitRequestBody'];
} else {
$fileID = @fopen($limitRequestBodyFilePath, 'r');
if (!$fileID) return 0; // BOMB OUT - $limitRequestBodyFilePath SET IN CSV FILE AND IS REQUIRED TO OBTAIN LimitRequestBody
$contents = @fread($fileID, filesize($limitRequestBodyFilePath));
@fclose($fileID);
preg_match('/LimitRequestBody[\\s\\t]*([0-9]+)\n*/i', $contents, $matchArray);
$_SESSION['limitRequestBody'] = (int)trim($matchArray[1]);
return (int)trim($matchArray[1]);
}
}

Ok one big BIG failure issue.. what if the webserver is not Apache? Then what do I do?
Phil
if (stristr($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], 'apache')) {getLimitRequestBody();}
else {echo 'you are not using Apache';}
That's a step. That only tells me they're not using Apache, which then causes an even bigger can-of-worms when building a portable application that has to account for limitations in request size.
