View source for Modify Your PHP Configuration

The PHP framework provides directives (you can think of them as settings) to tune or change the behavior of the PHP environment.   For example, often you will need to change the maximum memory available in the PHP environment to Content Management Systems like WordPress.   You can make those changes with the use of the .htaccess file and knowing which PHP directive to use.  
==== '''Set a PHP Setting''' ====
If you wanted to change the PHP memory limit available to your website to 512 MB,  set the php_value memory_limit  value in your websites .htaccess file, usually found in the root of your website. It currently defaults to 256 MB but you can change it to 512 MB with:
 php_value memory_limit 512M
If you wanted to change the maximum file size that can be uploaded set the upload_max_filesize value. You can change it to 10 MB with:
 php_value upload_max_filesize 10M
See the [[HTACCESS|documentation for .htaccess]] file for further information.

==== '''PHP Directives''' ====
Some of the more common settings that are used in the PHP environment are listed below:
