But the documentation is still not sufficiently clear on how to decide when to use php_ directives and when to use php_admin_. When I first came to do a setup using these, I had a number of questions, and whilst I think I can make an intelligent guess at some of the answers, I'm still not absolutely sure. The documentation should, clearly and unambiguously, answer all of these: * How do I decide when to use php_admin_* and when php_*? Is it based on the PHP_INI_* settings? - If so which one(s)? - If not, what is it based on? * Can I use php_admin_* to set options have the PHP_INI_USER attribute (or PHP_INI_ALL)? - If so does that stop them from subsequently being altered in other contexts (specifically in user scripts?). Even after running a number of tests, I'm just not sufficiently sure of the answers to suggest specific improvements -- but if someone "in the know" could write a paragraph or two to answer the above questions, it would be a major improvement. (Shall I file a "Documentation problem" bug report?) Cheers!
