In my working directory I have two files: index.php
and .user.ini
:
.user.ini
:
display_errors=on
; http://be2.php.net/manual/en/filter.configuration.php#ini.filter.default
;filter.default = "full_special_chars"
index.php
:
<?php
//ini_set("display_errors", "on");
// Use `.user.ini` file:
// http://php.net/manual/en/configuration.file.per-user.php
echo "Setting for 'user_ini.filename': " . ini_get("user_ini.filename");
echo "\n\n";
// It takes up to five minutes, until `.user.ini` is re-read:
echo "Setting for 'user_ini.cache_ttl': " . ini_get("user_ini.cache_ttl");
echo "\n\n";
// http://php.net/manual/en/function.ini-get.php
echo "Setting for 'display_errors': " . ini_get("display_errors");
echo "\n\n";
echo "Setting for 'filter.default': " . ini_get("filter.default");
echo "\n\n";
// php -S localhost:8000
// http://localhost:8000/
Using the above .user.ini
-file (in my working directory) I expect the "Setting for 'display_errors': "
having a value of on
or 1
, but it's empty.
How to correctly change settings using the .user.ini
-file?
running php --ini
results in
Configuration File (php.ini) Path: /etc/php5/cli
Loaded Configuration File: /etc/php5/cli/php.ini
Scan for additional .ini files in: /etc/php5/cli/conf.d
Additional .ini files parsed: /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/05-opcache.ini,
/etc/php5/cli/conf.d/10-pdo.ini,
/etc/php5/cli/conf.d/20-json.ini,
/etc/php5/cli/conf.d/20-readline.ini
which does not contain my .user.ini
-file.
Explicitly adding the .user.ini
-file works:
php --php-ini .user.ini index.php
but I'd like it to be automatically read when running the script from a given folder.
In the documentation it says:
These files are processed only by the CGI/FastCGI SAPI
and
If you are using Apache, use
.htaccess
files for the same effect.
So if you run PHP as an Apache module, from the commandline, or using the builtin-Server, the .user.ini
-files are not processed.
To find out your Server API, simply generate a PHP script with the following content and call it in your webbrowser:
<? phpinfo();
