Runtime Configuration
The behaviour of the Apache PHP module is affected by settings in php.ini. Configuration settings from php.ini may be overridden by php_flag settings in the server configuration file or local .htaccess files.
Example #1 Turning off PHP parsing for a directory using .htaccess
php_flag engine off
Name | Default | Changeable | Changelog |
---|---|---|---|
engine | "1" | PHP_INI_ALL | |
child_terminate | "0" | PHP_INI_ALL | |
last_modified | "0" | PHP_INI_ALL | |
xbithack | "0" | PHP_INI_ALL |
Here's a short explanation of the configuration directives.
-
engine
bool -
Turns PHP parsing on or off. This directive is really only useful in the Apache module version of PHP. It is used by sites that would like to turn PHP parsing on and off on a per-directory or per-virtual server basis. By putting
engine off
in the appropriate places in the httpd.conf file, PHP can be enabled or disabled. -
child_terminate
bool -
Specify whether PHP scripts may request child process termination on end of request, see also apache_child_terminate().
-
last_modified
bool -
Send PHP scripts modification date as Last-Modified: header for this request.
-
xbithack
bool -
Parse files with executable bit set as PHP regardless of their file ending.
