That said - just for grins, I *DID* restart apache2. It made no
difference.
(from before) /etc/php5/apache2 is a centralized directory; i surprised
you
even have access to it on a shared host. do you have your own instance of
linux? either way i sincerely doubt thats the web directory. i would try
putting a .htaccess file in your web root.
I never said it was the web directory ... I said that's where php.ini is
being
loaded from. The web directory is /var/www ... that's where the php.ini I
*WANT* loaded is. ...and, yes, I have my own Linux machine that I use for
testing.

when you look at the output of phpinfo() there will be 2 columns. one has
the heading 'master value' the other has the heading 'local value' is
the
local value different than the master value? it should be if the
.htaccess
file is working correctly (though you many not have permission to use them
[but it is typical to allow php configuration via .htaccess on shared
hosts]).
I've tried that now, and it does work. I was trying to do it through a local
php.ini because I know that's the way bluehost makes us do it, and there are
several websites that document it as a working manner.
I do thank everyone for their help with this.
