>From the PHP Manual, Section I.3 Configuration:
"The configuration file
The configuration file (called php3.ini in PHP 3.0, and simply
php.ini as of PHP 4.0) is read when PHP starts up. For the
server module versions of PHP, this happens only once when the
web server is started. For the CGI version, it happens on
every invocation.
When using PHP as an Apache module, you can also change the
configuration settings using directives in Apache configuration
files and .htaccess files.
With PHP 3.0, there are Apache directives that correspond to each
configuration setting in the php3.ini name, except the name is
prefixed by "php3_".
With PHP 4.0, there are just a few Apache directives that allow you
to change the PHP configuration settings.
php_value name value
This sets the value of the specified variable.
php_flag name on|off
This is used to set a Boolean configuration option.
php_admin_value name value
This sets the value of the specified variable. "Admin"
configuration settings can only be set from within the main
Apache configuration files, and not from .htaccess files.
php_admin_flag name on|off
This is used to set a Boolean configuration option.
You can view the settings of the configuration values in the output
of phpinfo(). You can also access the values of individial
configuration settings using get_cfg_var()."
Examples:
php_value sendmail_from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
php_value SMTP myserver.com
So, to change a setting, you would have a script that writes to a
.htaccess file on a specified directory and then redirect to a second
script that would run from that same directory, using the new
settings. .htaccess files are read everytime a request is received
from a browser and the requested file is searched for. If you have
.htaccess files on all the directories that make up a path to the
file, Apache will read and merge all of this and act on the result.
For example, if the browser is requesting: /dir1/dir2/dir3/script.php
Apache will read the .htaccess file on your htdocs, then the one in
/dir1, then the one from /dir1/dir2 and so on until it finds
script.php, all the .htaccess files read are merged into one resulting
.htaccess and this will determine permissions, settings, etc. for that
particular script.
I hope all this makes sense.
Saludos,
Pablo
