php.ini is a file on your server. The vb admincp/php info usually tells you where to find it. However, if you don't have full access to your server, you will not be able to access and modify it.

As far as I know (e.g. http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum88/9393.htm), you can make these changes in an htaccess file.

does your php info look like this?

[seangworld]

Server API CGI/FastCGI
Virtual Directory Support disabled
Configuration File (php.ini) Path /usr/local/php5-fcgi/lib
Loaded Configuration File /usr/local/php5-fcgi/lib/php.ini

it looks like that.

I've uploaded the next alpha release of 2.2.9, good for both vb 3.6 and 3.7. Will appreciate tests/comments.

There's more work to do on this before we finalise it for vb 3.7 and I hope also you'll bear with me for a while before I get round to updating the wiki.

Sometimes you can drop a new php.ini file inside a particular folder, then this one will overrule the one in the server... at least that's what another webhost did for me one time, i did the same with my current webhost and i have had no problems at all

Thanks Andrew, will start testing on vb 3.7 beta5 x.x

when i was using a line to edit the htaccess to recognize the php5 on the server it was conflicting with my forum only, so i took out the line. it was also slowing down my site A LOT.

how do i make a php.ini? and what goes in it?

You need to post that question in another forum, e.g. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=197
