Dear All
After the recent upgrades of all of our PHP5 servers to v5.1.6, the use of php.ini files within your directories no longer works as an overide for a servers main php.ini file.
According to both Cpanel and PHP, this was in fact a bug that allowed customers to overide a servers php.ini file and this bug has now been fixed meaning that all customers using php.ini files will need to adjust their scripts to use their servers main php.ini file.
There is no “workaround” for this as it is classed as a bug fix so the situations is to either adjust your code or you may have a website that no longer works. You should also note the our PHP5 servers are all running phpSUexec so you will not be able to use PHP flags in a .htaccess file either.
It does however seem that this problem is only isolated to a small handfull of customers as most took heed of our 8 weeks+ notice and tested their code, then made adjustments where needed so we say a huge thank you to all of you for your efforts with this upgrade.
