But the documentation is still not sufficiently clear on how to decide when
to use php_ directives and when to use php_admin_.  When I first came to do
a setup using these, I had a number of questions, and whilst I think I can
make an intelligent guess at some of the answers, I'm still not absolutely
sure.  The documentation should, clearly and unambiguously, answer all of
these:

* How do I decide when to use php_admin_* and when php_*?
  Is it based on the PHP_INI_* settings?
  - If so which one(s)?
  - If not, what is it based on?

* Can I use php_admin_* to set options have the PHP_INI_USER
  attribute (or PHP_INI_ALL)?
  - If so does that stop them from subsequently being
    altered in other contexts (specifically in user scripts?).

Even after running a number of tests, I'm just not sufficiently sure of the
answers to suggest specific improvements -- but if someone "in the know"
could write a paragraph or two to answer the above questions, it would be a
major improvement.

(Shall I file a "Documentation problem" bug report?)

Cheers!
