Changing Setting to PHP

Changing settings to PHP

You might run into problems with software timing out when downloading or uploading files.
It might be some other problem which is related to a setting in PHP that needs to be different than the server wide setting.

To change a setting, login to your Control panel and under Software you will see an Icon named Multiphp INI Editor.
There, in the Basic mode, you can quickly change settings for the most popular ini items.

You can switch to the Editor mode where you will need to type in the setting.

Be sure to set the location where you want the setting to occur.


You no longer need to create the ini file and upload it.

Should you wish to do it manually follow the instructions below.


For PHP versions 5.3 and later
To do this create a file named .user.ini and place it the public root folder or in the folder it's needed in.
When it is placed in a folder all folders under it are effected by the changed setting.

This is the best way as it only alters the server wide setting you require verses using a php.ini file.


Example .user.ini file contents
---------------------------------------
memory_limit = 128
upload_max_filesize = 1000M
post_max_size=1400M
