Php.ini Empty?

[toomuch72]

Ok hopefully I can ask this correctly. After studying this topic I'm Beyond confused.

 

Here goes: The other day I noticed a bunch of Warning: Page has Expired in internet explorer that were not there before so I looked up the error and this seems to be a common Cacheing(sp?) problem with IE but can be fixed with the php.ini file edit.

 

So I went looking to change the php.ini file and I think with tch I can not do that. But I was able to download it. When I download and open with notepad--it is completely empty on my site http://www.0pn.com/ and a new site I'm coding for another person http://www.mybath.info/.

 

I know these files are not supposed to be empty. I just don't see how I can get access and change it or at least bring it back to DEFAULTS. Cause wasn't having this issue couple weeks ago.

 

When it comes to the server anything beyond phptriad setup for my machine--I'm lost so any help on any of these issues or even better how to fix the incovience for my guests would be so great.

 

Thank you in advance

The system php.ini isn't in your account.

 

You can see the system php.ini active settings by creating a .php file with this contents:

><?php  phpinfo(); ?>

 

Then access that page and it will show you all of the settings.

 

If you want to change any settings for your account, you can do so by adding lines in your .htaccess file in your public_html directory. Use the format: "php_value setting_to_change value"

 

So, as just an example, if you wanted to change the upload max filesize, you would put this in your .htaccess:

>php_value upload_max_filesize 4M

There was another post on this, See Php.ini, any way to modify? from this forum.

And there is a link

http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.changes.php

for How to change configuration settings

Cool--That makes things easy. Thank you both. Your posts help tremendously. I was lost for a little bit but learning more and more. After hours of searching the net.

 

LOL remind me to always pay great companies like TCH to host my sites and to never do this on my own--just too much to learn.

 

More on this issue. Seems this is happening to many people in the last few weeks. And many places around the net. I'm thinking it may be coming from something else so far it is looking like most of us having the issue did a XP update right before the issues. HMMMM?
