This article will show you how to Modify PHP- settings through .htaccess<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When it comes to optimizing your website’s performance, sometimes you might find the need to tweak PHP settings. Your server environment is typically finely tuned, but there could be scenarios where you need to adjust specific PHP directives. Fortunately, you can achieve this by creating or editing a .htaccess file.<\/span><\/p>\n

The server environment is precisely tuned for performance, with hardware and software (and network). For PHP usage, this means that some of the server and environment settings may be a bit more modest than other providers. With most websites and applications, our settings are just fine.<\/span><\/p>\n

But in some cases you may need to modify a PHP directive. To change a PHP-setting or variable, just set the new setting with a\u00a0.htaccess<\/code>\u00a0file. Here\u2019s an example of directives that may be changed this way:<\/span><\/p>\n

php_value upload_max_filesize 200M<\/code>
\nphp_value post_max_size 200M<\/code>
\nphp_value max_input_vars 2000<\/code>
\nphp_value max_execution_time 120<\/code><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a<\/span>\u00a0complete list of all (configurable) directives.<\/a><\/p>\n

In general, we don\u2019t recommend changing these directives. Temporary changes are always better than permanent ones. Again, our server environment is optimized for speed and changes may affect the performance of your website.<\/span><\/p>\n

To view the default settings in our server environment, use the PHP-command\u00a0phpinfo()<\/code>. Just create a new PHP file called<\/span>\u00a0info.php<\/code>\u00a0with the following content:<\/span>\u00a0<?php phpinfo(); ?><\/code>, upload it to the root of your website and browse to it<\/span>:\u00a0example.com\/info.php<\/code>.<\/p>\n

Frequently Asked Questions:<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Why should I be cautious when modifying PHP settings via .htaccess?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Making incorrect or unnecessary changes to PHP settings can adversely affect your website’s performance. Our server environment is optimized for speed, so it’s better to avoid permanent modifications whenever possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. How can I check the default PHP settings on my server environment?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      You can create a PHP file named “info.php” with the content “<?php phpinfo(); ?>” and upload it to your website’s root directory. Accessing this file via a web browser will display a comprehensive list of your server’s PHP settings.<\/span><\/p>\n
