I'm trying to override the value of php.ini's 'auto_prepend_file' function, inside of an Apache Directory container. I'm not having much luck. In fact, no luck at all. This never happens. So I'm wondering now, are functions set by 'php_value' inside of an Apache config file only good for the entire VirtualHost in question, or can they be applied on a per-directory basis using Apache's Directory directive?

Certainly some php_value directives can be over-ridden in .htaccess, regardless of whether they were set globally in httpd.conf or in a VirtualHost or Directory block. Equally certainly, some cannot be over-ridden. I am almost 100% certain that php_value makes no distinction between *where* in httpd.conf the setting comes from. I daresay php_value in .htaccess can't even tell the difference from one part of httpd.conf to the other. http://php.net/ has a page devoted to describing exactly which php_value settings can be over-ridden where. Check that. It's also possible that once auto_prepend_file is set, it's set, and that's it -- Regardless of where it is set, you're stuck with it at that value. <snip>

It's also possible that the webserver itself is not configured to allow .htaccess files to overwrite values. -- John C. Nichel ÜberGeek KegWorks.com 716.856.9675 john@kegworks.com
