RE: [PHP-INST] php.ini changes not taking

Thanks, I found that in the manual a little while ago. As a last chance I tried restarting the server. Half of the problem was resolved. register_globals is On for the global setting, but Off for the local setting. I'm not sure how that could happen since it can't be changed with ini_set. I did add this line to an .htaccess file "php_value register_globals on" previously. The root problem is Apache not restarting properly. I issued /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl restart - even though it appeared to stop and start based on what was on the screen it didn't pick up the ini file changes I made. Hopefully I'll crack this today. > -----Original Message----- > From: Rich Gray [mailto:rich@f1central.net] > Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2003 9:35 AM > To: Stembridge, Michael; php-install@lists.php.net > Subject: RE: [PHP-INST] php.ini changes not taking > > > > This is strange.
