Here's a short explanation of
the configuration directives.
-
assert.active
boolean
-
Enable assert() evaluation.
-
assert.bail
boolean
-
Terminate script execution on failed assertions.
-
assert.warning
boolean
-
Issue a PHP warning for each failed assertion.
-
assert.callback
string
-
user function to call on failed assertions
-
assert.quiet_eval
boolean
-
Use the current setting of error_reporting() during
assertion expression evaluation. If enabled, no errors are shown
(implicit error_reporting(0)) while evaluation. If disabled, errors are
shown according to the settings of error_reporting()
-
enable_dl
boolean
-
This directive is really only useful in the Apache module
version of PHP. You can turn dynamic loading of
PHP extensions with dl() on and
off per virtual server or per directory.
The main reason for turning dynamic loading off is
security. With dynamic loading, it's possible to ignore all
open_basedir restrictions.
The default is to allow dynamic loading, except when using
safe mode. In safe mode, it's
always impossible to use dl().
-
max_execution_time
integer
-
This sets the maximum time in seconds a script is allowed to
run before it is terminated by the parser. This helps
prevent poorly written scripts from tying up the server. The
default setting is 30.
The maximum execution time is not affected by system calls,
stream operations etc. Please see the
set_time_limit() function for more
details.
You can not change this setting with ini_set() when
running in safe mode. The only workaround is to turn off safe mode or
by changing the time limit in the php.ini.
Your web server can have other timeouts. E.g. Apache has
Timeout directive, IIS has CGI timeout function, both
default to 300 seconds. See the web server documentation for meaning of it.
-
max_input_time
integer
-
This sets the maximum time in seconds a script is allowed to
parse input data, like POST, GET and file uploads.
-
max_input_nesting_level
integer
-
Sets the max nesting depth of
input variables (i.e.
$_GET,
$_POST..)
-
magic_quotes_gpc
boolean
-
WarningThis feature has been
DEPRECATED and REMOVED as of PHP 6.0.0.
Relying on this feature is highly discouraged.
Sets the magic_quotes state for GPC (Get/Post/Cookie)
operations. When magic_quotes are on, all ' (single-quote),
" (double quote), \ (backslash) and NUL's are escaped
with a backslash automatically.
Note:
In PHP 4, also $_ENV
variables are escaped.
Note:
If the
magic_quotes_sybase directive is also ON it will
completely override magic_quotes_gpc. Having both directives
enabled means only single quotes are escaped as
''. Double quotes, backslashes and
NUL's will remain untouched and unescaped.

-
magic_quotes_runtime
boolean
-
WarningThis feature has been
DEPRECATED and REMOVED as of PHP 6.0.0.
Relying on this feature is highly discouraged.
If magic_quotes_runtime
is enabled,
most functions that return data from any sort of external
source including databases and text files will have quotes
escaped with a backslash. If
magic_quotes_sybase
is also on, a single-quote is escaped with a single-quote instead
of a backslash.
