Basic Mode PHP Directive:

  • allow_url_fopen
  • allow_url_include
  • enable_dl
  • file_uploads = Whether or not to allow HTTP file uploads.Enabled
  • max_execution_time = This sets the maximum time in seconds a script is allowed to run before it is terminated by the parser. This helps prevent poorly written scripts from tying up the server. The default setting is 90.
    600
  • max_input_time
  • max_input_vars
  • memory_limit = This sets the maximum amount of memory in bytes that a script is allowed to allocate. This helps prevent poorly written scripts for eating up all available memory on a server. Note that to have no memory limit, set this directive to -1.
    128M
    PHP Default: 128M
  • post_max_size = Sets max size of post data allowed. This setting also affects file upload. To upload large files, this value must be larger than upload_max_filesize. Generally speaking, memory_limit should be larger than post_max_size.
    8M
    PHP Default: 8M
  • session.gc_maxlifetime
  • session.save_path
  • upload_max_filesize = The maximum size of an uploaded file.
    20M
    PHP Default: 2M
  • zlib.output_compression = Whether to transparently compress pages. If this option is set to “On” in php.ini or the Apache configuration, pages are compressed if the browser sends an “Accept-Encoding: gzip” or “deflate” header.
