Hrm, I thought it was pretty clear, but I suppose you have to know a little bit about the Apache API. The constants are almost self-explanatory though: command_rec php_commands[] = { {"php_value", php_apache_value_handler, NULL, OR_OPTIONS, TAKE2, "PHP Value Modifier"}, {"php_flag", php_apache_flag_handler, NULL, OR_OPTIONS, TAKE2, "PHP Flag Modifier"}, {"php_admin_value", php_apache_admin_value_handler, NULL, ACCESS_CONF|RSRC_CONF, TAKE2, "PHP Value Modifier (Admin)"}, {"php_admin_flag", php_apache_admin_flag_handler, NULL, ACCESS_CONF|RSRC_CONF, TAKE2, "PHP Flag Modifier (Admin)"}, {NULL} }; This tells you that php_value and php_flag are available anywhere OR_OPTIONS allows it to be and the admin tags are only available in the .conf file. ie. if your AllowOverride includes "Options" you can use the php_value and php_flag directives in your .htaccess file. And you can never use php_admin_value and php_admin_flag in your .htacess file. -Rasmus
