MultiPHP INI Editor for cPanel
The Basic Mode section of this interface loads directive values from the php.ini
file for your selected domain or home directory. Make your changes to the desired directives and click Apply. The system saves changes to the php.ini
file, the user.ini
file, and your .htaccess
file.
Notes:
- For security purposes, we strongly recommend that you use the cPanel-provided default values.
- The availability of directives depends on your version of PHP. If a directive does not appear in your interface, your version of PHP does not support it.
- The system only writes a directive to an
.ini
or.htaccess
file if that file supports the directive. Yourphp.ini
,.user.ini
, and.htaccess
files may not be identical. For more information about which files support which directives, read PHP’s documentation.
Important:
If you use the DSO PHP handler and you change your PHP version to a different major PHP version, the system will not read your configuration changes. For example, if you change your PHP version from PHP 5 to PHP 7.
To correct this issue, you must edit and save your PHP configuration again in the interface. The system will then load the .htaccess
directives correctly.
