using custom php.ini file

Hello,

There shouldn’t be any real drawbacks of using a custom php.ini file.

By default your php configuration will typically adhere to the options set in the /usr/local/lib/php.ini file on the server (this can be different if your host uses technology like CageFS, but that is generally the file location in cPanel host)

Using a custom php.ini file located in your users /home/user/public_html directory you are simply overwriting the default php configuration options with the ones you set.

This gives you the ability to set the php configuration to match closer to your needs depending on the software you use. Say you need to upload large file sizes via php, but the host default value is low.

You can change the post_max_size and upload_max_filesize values to anything you like to allow for larger uploads via php.

To make the php.ini file work recursively upon all subdirectories add the following code to the top of your .htaccess file:

SuPHP_ConfigPath /home/[CPANELUSERNAME]/public_html/

If this code causes errors speak with your host as they may use another method.

Hope you found this helpful!
