If you made changes to your site's PHP initialization file (php.ini
or .user.ini
) but they aren't taking effect, use the following information to help resolve the issue.
- Make sure you're using the correct type of PHP initialization file.
- Understand your PHP initialization file's refresh rate:
Filename | Refresh Rate |
---|
php.ini | This only updates when a new PHP process is created, e.g. when a new visitor comes to your site. However, refreshing your own site you recently visited does not generate a new PHP process. |
.user.ini | By default, the system reads this file every 5 minutes, so there is no need to do anything once you have made your changes. |
- Try getting the server to recognize the updated file. Which process you use depends on your hosting account's operating system (more info).
