custom php.ini for domain

Question

I have global php.ini file located in /usr/local/lib folder. The custom php.ini file is in /home/petstail/public_html/ folder.

This is how my phpinfo() look like.

I am still loading global php.ini file. How to change configuration file path, and run custom php.ini file.

Thanks.

Answer 1

You might be able to do it via .htaccess by setting an environment variable (if Apache is running mod_php):

SetEnv PHPRC /home/petstail/public_html/php.ini

However, your php.ini file should not be in the document root (where it's publicly accessible) ... at the very least store it in a directory protected with another .htaccess defining Deny from all.

OR you could deny access to php.ini using the following.

<FilesMatch "php.ini">
    deny from all
    allow from 127.0.0.1
<FilesMatch>

Answer 2

Depending on your php version you should refer the the php documentation to see if INI settings are on.
