Technically, yes. :-) If you are using CGI, you don't need a re-start, as the CGI is a new process each time, and loads php.ini on each page hit. If you are using Apache, in theory, you'd only need to re-start Apache, as that reloads the php.ini, or maybe even send it some kind of signal to re-load its configuration files, which *might* include php.ini If you are using FCGI, I presume you'd only need to re-start FCGI, as that will re-load the php.ini there. If you are using IIS, you'll have to restart every 24 hours anyway, so what's it matter? However, Windows being Windows, there might be caching of the files by the OS which has to be cleared out, or some other weird thing going on, so just reboot anyway, cuz it's Windows. -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
