How to get to my php.ini file?

[christian8a]

I know where is located, but how do I get to it?
like where do I put the url or what

[Marco van Herwaarden]

What do you want to do with it?

If you want to edit it, you will need to go to the command shell and edit the file with an editor like 'vi'.

the best place to ask is the Support Ticket from your Host actually.... some hosts locate their ini in specific places, and usually they give permissions to use custom ones only to few of their clients, for obvious security.

if you're on vps or whatever and have SSH access

updatedb
locate php.ini

Are you on your own box or VPS?

Linux right...?
If so, these commands **SHOULD** work for you.

# updatedb
# locate

If Windows: C:\Program Files\PHP\php.ini

Yea, thanx for the replies I know in my case would be /etc/php.ini
is a vps but I was looking for the SSH login but I dont have my password so I would ask for it and go from there.

The reason I need it was to change the memory limit to generate a xml map for my site, and is not letting me because it gets cut on half way.

You might also be able to override some of the memory settings using a .htaccess file on your forum directory.

really? can you help me how to do that
like what code to add to it

[Marco van Herwaarden]

You can create a .htaccess with lines like the following to override some php settings (if host has set to allow this):

php_value memory_limit 32M

Alternative might be to include a line like the following in your config.php (should do the same):

PHP Code:

ini_set('memory_limit', 32 * 1024 * 1024);
