PHP.ini does not work

Question

I opened the notepad, inserted 3 lines in it, saved it as php.ini, and uploaded it in public_html, but I am still getting an error that requires to first switch the magic quotes off. The syntax of the three lines is as following:

magic_quotes_gpc = 0 
magic_quotes_runtime = 0 
magic_quotes_sybase = 0 

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

use phpinfo() function to see what php.ini file you're actually using
