Ok magic quotes Disabled.

I'm running on shared hosting and The php_flag and php_value inside a .htaccess file are technically correct - but for PHP installed as an Apache module only. On a shared host you'll almost never find such a setup; PHP is run as a CGI instead, for reasons related to security (keeping your server neighbours out of your files) and the way phpsuexec runs scripts as 'you' instead of the apache user.

Apache is thus correct giving you a server error: it doesn't know about the meaning of php_flag unless the PHP module is loaded. A CGI binary is to Apache an external program instead, and you can't configure it from within Apache.

Now for the good news: you can set up per-directory configuration putting there a file named 'php.ini' and setting there your instructions using the same syntax as in the system's main php.ini.

Now it's time to setup UsabilityInitiative.

I will inform you.

Thanks.. :up:
