PHP settings that cannot be changed

  • PHP has been configured to use the following settings on our shared and reseller servers:

    safe mode = off
    memory_limit = 64M MAXIMUM
    max_execution_time = 30 MAXIMUM
    post_max_size = 64M MAXIMUM
    upload_max_filesize = 64M MAXIMUM
    enable_dl = Off

    The above settings either CANNOT be changed or cannot be exceeded on a shared and reseller account. These limits are set to prevent extremely high resource usage in shared environments. We have found that a majority of the PHP scripts will work within these limits, and the scripts that require more resources are best suited for a VPS or dedicated server. Dedicated servers and VPS can change and raise these settings to any value desired.

    We also set the following:

    register_globals = On
    magic_quotes_gpc = Off

    These two settings, and any other PHP settings not aforementioned, can be changed using a custom php.ini file located in the same folder as the script that requires the settings.
