Using .htaccess to get around altering php.ini

Quick little trick for bypassing php.ini with the htaccess file.

I have been working on installing SugarCRM. Wow that is a process in itself. I spent about 20 hours installing and re installing sugar to get the darn thing to work. I finally got the install to go in clean and actually function minus a few bugs i am working out. The software is great but a bit buggy. One of the issues I came across is all of the custom settings needed in the php.ini file. I have worked on a few types of servers and sometime as a web designer you don’t have access to the php.ini file. To get around this i use the htaccess file to change the php.ini limits. If you design in PHP on LAMP stacks its probably a good idea to learn a little htaccess.

Example Sugar crm need the memory limit set to 50m

you can change it in your php.ini or add the following line to your htaccess file

php_value memory_limit “50M”

Just an example but thought it might help someone trying to get around the php.ini file settings

I am not an expert at htaccess so you will have to research that stuff yourself
