Hostmonster php.ini
PHP is the scripting language that HostMonster support to write your cool liitle web applications with. Its the only language I have ever learnt and I think it is the best.
It apparently stands for Pretty Good Homepage.
HostMonster has version 5 of PHP running on their servers
PHP.ini allows you to customize a PHP ini file to change some of the settings of PHP. A php.ini file allows you to customize settings like global variables, default directory to upload files and the allowed size for uploaded files.
When PHP starts up, it behaves according to settings specified in the availabe php.ini file. The Web server will look for this file in the following locations and in the following order:
The directory from which the PHP script was called
The root of your Web directory (typically public_html)
The Web server's default php.ini
Life would be pretty difficult without this feature and you really need a webshost that allows you to. HostMonster does and the way they allow you to control your site is very important.
Overview of Select PHP SettingsOverviewed settings:
register_globals
upload_tmp_dir
session.save_path
display_errors and display_startup_errors
log_errors and error_log
I recently needed to increase the memory_limit, upload_max_filesize and post_max_size values to something higher than set by HostMonster 's default php.ini file.
You see HostMonster works with you. They set limits on accounts but allow you to override them if you wish . A lot of Website hosting companies don't do this.
Get and modify your custom php.ini file. It's probably best to use a php.ini file that is like the one you are already running on your server. You can probably find one at /usr/local/lib/php.ini or /usr/local/etc/php.ini and just copy it into your account's web folder (it may be called "public_html" or "www" or "htdocs" -- you know the one).
