Re: FN-FORUM: Updating php.ini through .htaccess

date posted 15th November 2007 11:15

Hi

You can use ini_set in your
script(http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php)

ini_set('include_path', '/path/to/your/libs')

Another way is to set a env variable which will be added to the server
environment (http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/function.putenv.php)

putenv('LIB_DIR=/path/to/your/libs')

you can retrieve it with getenv('LIB_DIR')

or you can define a constant like

define('LIB_DIR', '/path/to/your/libs')

and then use it as

require_once LIB_DIR . '/your_script.php';

Hope it makes sense
