Changing PHP options

[Anon]

I would like to change some PHP options like the PHPSESSID name, timeout etc.
However, I cant find the php.ini file anywhere (linux machine).

Any ideas?

find / -name "php.ini"

and maybe there really is no php.ini.
then, just copy the php.ini you got with the distribution and put it in /usr/local/lib/

There is only one php.ini file, and it is in the pear/tests directory - only contains 1 line:

include_path=..

Thats it....

If you don't have access to php.ini (e.g. if on an ISP), then on a UNIX host you can over-ride PHP.ini by using simple directives in a .htaccess file. This is a simple text file placed in a directory to modify how Apache and/or PHP treat files in that directory.

E.g. to auto prepend a file called pre.php to every script in a directory place this line in a file called .htaccess in that directory:

php_value auto_prepend_file test.php

This is for PHP4, v.3 is slightly different.

This works if Apache has been set to allow this, but I think it is commone for it to be so.

Hope this helps, see the apache.org site for more info.

Sorry, a slight typo. Use this line to auto prepend pre.php to every PHP script in that directory:

php_value auto_prepend_file pre.php
