To set your PHP settings via the command line, you can use the php.ini file, environment variables, or command-line options when executing a PHP script.
You can edit the php.ini file to set your PHP configurations globally:
Locate your php.ini file:
This command will show the path to the loaded configuration file.
2. Open the php.ini file in a text editor:
3. Modify the settings as needed. For example, to change the memory_limit:
4. Save the file and exit the editor.
5. Restart your web server or PHP service to apply the changes:
You can override php.ini settings directly from the command line when running a PHP script using the -d option:
You can set PHP settings via environment variables for the current session:
Or directly for a specific setting:
This method is useful for temporary changes that don't require editing the php.ini file.
If you're configuring PHP for a web application, you can use a .user.ini file in the root directory of your application:
1. Create or edit the .user.ini file in your web root directory:
2. The settings in .user.ini will be applied for the current directory and all its subdirectories.
php.ini file: Global settings.
Command-line options (-d): Temporary, script-specific settings.
Environment variables: Temporary, session-specific settings.
.user.ini: Directory-specific settings for web servers.
Pick the approach that fits you best. Consider if you need the alterations to affect everything, be short-term, or apply just to a certain script or folder.
