I tried to make some modifikations in main.c, everything seemed to work pretty fine, but I was unalbe to complete that work (I must admit, I'm not such a c-expert, I'm just programing simple stuff sometimes) and later then I got a hint that modifying main.c won't help in my case since modifications there are being interpreted only when php/apache starts, so it's values (e.g. open_basedir) are not being set per-request - however, is that true? >Jani's recent INI work is worth looking into Are you talking about PHP 5.3? I failed to find some docs about it's configuration-directives and stuff, could you tell me about some ressources please?
