[PHP] Php session settings

[Jeff Benetti]

Hi all, I am new to PHP this is my second post to this group.

I have tried using the following CMS systems on my web server (remote)
Joomla
CMS made simple
Phpwebsite

And more recently
Coppermine photo album

All of these apps use PHP heavily.

None of these apps seem to run very well and they all require constantly
refreshing the browser.  When I installed CMS made simple (nice install
program) it checked for MySQL database, permissions etc. everything passed
the test but it flagged low memory allocation as a possible problem.  The
install succeeded but the program indicated that performance would be poor
or crippled.

My hosting service allows me to add a customized php.ini in the same folder
as the app.  I know nothing about php.ini so I was hoping someone could
point me to which of the many settings would be best to tweak.

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks,
Jeff

Quick recap: constantly refreshing browser, could tweak php.ini, total
newbie, no hair left to pull out.

Jeff,

is 
*memory_limit*http://docs.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.memory-limitthe
one youre looking for ?
that sounds strange; im sure the default would be appropriate.
i would recommend you create a script to show the current values
of the php.ini settings before you start changing them.

?php
echo phpinfo();
?

dealt with there.

Re: [PHP] Php session settings

[Tom Friedhof]

I almost always up the memory_limit in the php.ini.  Set the memory limit to
16M, or 32M (the default is 8M).  You want a higher memory_limit if you're
working with big file uploads or creating images with php or anything else
that takes a lot of memory.

Also, if you're still researching which CMS to use, don't forget to check
out Drupal at http://drupal.org.  You can learn a lot about PHP by diving
into a well written project.  The Drupal code is very clean and organized.

Thanks,
I added a one line file called php.ini with the following line 
memory_limit = 16M
 
so far CMS made simple seems to run better (faster, no need for page
refresh)
 
Yes I will check out drupal
Jeff
