Custom php.ini in Cpanel ?

[feronso]

Hi,

Could its safe to place a php.ini file in user public_html directory in shared hosting environment for users script requirements so they can adjust the settings ? most of big host doing this like Godaddy, Hostgator, Bluehost etc.

If yes, so can on the safe mode by default in core php.ini of server/vps and disable deprecated php functions ?

thanks

if the function of the main php.ini are disabled then automatically they are disabled for the users who have accounts on it

We don't recommend doing it, even if you have disabled certain functions in main php.ini they can be overridden by a user.
If you are running a virtualized file system then you can enable php.ini to be overridden by users, else if on a normal setup you should lock down the system to only recognize main php.ini (/usr/local/lib) and ignore all others with dangerous functions disabled.

Okay, and how can lock the global settings so only main php.ini file applying, even users generate his own?

The method is not in the scope of explaining here.

Buzz me over Skype if you are interested.
