Hello,
Here I've got a few related questions, which are not stated explicitly in the manual.
1. The manual says that the magic_quotes_gpc setting cannot be set at runtime. Is it not possible to set this setting in an ini file, and parse it with the parse_ini_file() function? Also, if this was possible, what will PHP do to the modified variables? Run the stripslashes() functions on all of them?
No, this would be the same as runtime.
2. On a related line, are we allowed to use ini values in our ini file that contradict the defined ini values in php.ini? Won't this confuse the parser?
No, this will not confuse the parser. And it will not have any effect on php settings.
3. What would I do if I didn't have access to my own custom ini file, but could somehow get the file either by using fopen(), file() or file_get_contents()? Can I parse a string (or array) like an ini file?
You can do with a file whatever you are allowed to do, but it will not have any effect on php settings unless you use ini_set() function. Still you will be able to change only settings that can be changed during runtime.
4. Does parse_ini_file() allow us to specify absolute filenames of the form "scheme://..." from another server, if our allow_url_fopen is TRUE?
I don't know. Why don't you try it?
Thank You.
You can use .htaccess files to change php settings as described in the documentation.
