My Questions is : How I can Fix this? I Must change php.ini file. does anyone have experience like me?

Answer 1

Create php.ini file with your desired setting and upload it in your root folder of server. It will take effect with this new setting.

You can't edit the php.ini file of godaddy server, but you can upload your own copy of your php.ini with your new setting.

This new setting will be available only to you. Other websites will not be affected with this new setting.

Previously I faced the same issue, but after doing this my problem was resolved.

Answer 3

As pointed out by @Jason, for most shared hosting environments, having a copy of php.ini file in your public_html directory works to override the system default settings. A great way to do this is by copying the hosting company's copy. Put this in a file, say copyini.php

<?php
  system("cp /path/to/php/conf/file/php.ini  /home/yourusername/public_html/php.ini");
?>

Get /path/to/php/conf/file/php.ini from the output of phpinfo(); in a file. Then in your ini file, make your amendments Delete all files created during this process (Apart from php.ini of course :-) )

Answer 4

To check whether your php.ini file takes effect, open a plain text editor and create a file called phpinfo.php. Insert the following line:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Save this file to the root of your Web site and then browse to yourdomain.com/phpinfo.php to test the settings.
