PHP config in .htaccess

Anon

I have an .htaccess file containing only

php_flag asp_tags on

in my web directory.

When I try to access any file (html or php) I get a web server internal error.

What am I missing?

Thanks

Did you look in the webserver's log file?

Yes, I see a 200 for my test.php get followed by a 302 for the servers "warning.gif" icon.

test.php is simply

which works fine when the .htaccess file doesn't exist.

The .htaccess has just the one line

php_flag asp_tags on

does it need any sort of sectional code like
<Directory />
</Directory>

or anything?

Thanks,

Don

It turned out to be a configuration problem at the webserver. The hosting company said "sorry, .htaccess permission was disabled for your site. They have been enabled"

For the benefit of anybody finding this thread in the future:

Setting PHP configuration settings from .htaccess is as simple as adding the line

php_value <name> <value>
or
php_flag <name> <on|off>

to an .htaccess file in your web directory.
