php.ini

I'm trying to turn off magic quotes for a site. I've copied the php.ini
from /etc/php5/apache2 to the web site directory. In this file, I've changed
magic_quotes_gpc to read
magic_quotes.gpc = Off

When I run phpinfo() from this directory, it still shows magic quotes as being
on. I'm guessing there is another configuration parameter (either in the
Apache configuration or for php) that allows this to be processed. Would
someone be so kind as to help me here; I admit ignorance.

I'm not sure PHP5 would read php.ini from that directory.

You should take in account that your hosting company may _NOT_ allow
you to change certain parameters. That said, try visiting
http://us2.php.net/configuration.changes and see how that works for
you.

Good luck

There was a typo in my previous message asking the question. I typed a "."
instead of "_". It's corrected below:

phpinfo() should also tell you what php.ini is loaded.

Did you check that?

I'm trying to turn off magic quotes for a site. I've copied the php.ini
from /etc/php5/apache2 to the web site directory. In this file, I've changed

magic_quotes_gpc to read
magic_quotes.gpc = Off

When I run phpinfo() from this directory, it still shows magic quotes as
being
on. I'm guessing there is another configuration parameter (either in the
Apache configuration or for php) that allows this to be processed. Would
someone be so kind as to help me here; I admit ignorance.

And, at some hosts you have to change the settings in htaccess as opposed to
php.ini.

You have to set it in your main php.ini, the one shown in phpinfo() or
set it in a .htaccess in the web dir if permitted. You can't just copy
a php.ini into a dir and expect php to use it.

I hadn't thought to, but I just did. As expected, it's reading it
from /etc/php5/apache2.
