Documentation takes time. :) It's not that the PHP docs folks are keeping information from you, they're just very busy. A handy place to see the latest docs is http://snaps.php.net/manual/ I haven't yet been able to find a function that's in PHP which isn't listed in that version of the manual. > -----Original Message----- > From: Daniel Convissor [mailto:danielc@analysisandsolutions.com] > Sent: Thursday, July 27, 2000 2:15 PM > To: PHP List > Subject: [PHP] Which configuration directives valid in 4.0? > > The manual says "With PHP 4.0, there are just a few Apache directives that > allow you to change the PHP configuration settings." A list of which ones > can/can't be set would be very helpful. Anyone know, please? The approach to Apache directives was reworked to be smarter. It's not that directives were removed, it's that the method to use them has changed. Basically, instead of something like php3_include_path, it'd now be php_value include_path. A good doc to scan over would be http://zend.php.net/manual/configuration.php which lists how it all works now. Personally, I think it's a great improvement over how it was done in PHP3. Matt
