Sure it works. It depends on the directive. Obviously safe_mode is not something that can be overridden by users in a .htaccess file, so safe_mode is set via php_admin_flag whereas something like include_path is not an admin value and is set via php_value. > Maybe the functionality has been changed recently, for security reasons. > I figure if you go to the trouble to set a value in apache for a > particular virtualhost, you dont want to allow it to be overridden via > htaccess, which isnt possible when they force you to use the > php_admin_value form.

None admin flags can be overridden in .htaccess files assuming you enable it via the appropriate AlloveOverride Options. If you don't set "Options" on AllowOverride then none of this stuff can be overridden in the .htaccess files. -Rasmus -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
