With php_value, you should use 1 or 0 for such options. Not bug, but could be clarified a bit at http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.changes.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-16 14:06:08] jdell_nv at yahoo dot com Hi, I'm running apache 1.3.27 and PHP 4.3.2 RC2 (both compiled from source). I found a problem when you setup apache to 'AllowOverride All' and then set php directives from the .htacess file. For example, the magic_quotes_gpc directive: With php.ini configs, the ini_get value: magic_quotes_gpc = 1 or blank With .htacess configs, the ini_get value: magic_quotes_gpc = On or Off So (as per php.net docs) ini_get is converting the "On/Off" values in php.ini to "1" or blank, but if the value comes from .htaccess, it is not converted (they stay as "On/Off" values). This causes problems when developers assume ini_get returns boolean and can be used in an expression such as "if (ini_get('magic_quotes_gpc'))..." because ini_get can return "Off" which will evaluate to TRUE. I think this is a bug in ini_get or is an undocumented behavior. Please let me know if any other information would be helpful in figuring this out!
