But the documentation is still not sufficiently clear on how to decide when
to use php_ directives and when to use php_admin_. When I first came to do
a setup using these, I had a number of questions, and whilst I think I can
make an intelligent guess at some of the answers, I'm still not absolutely
sure. The documentation should, clearly and unambiguously, answer all of
these:
* How do I decide when to use php_admin_* and when php_*?
Is it based on the PHP_INI_* settings?
- If so which one(s)?
- If not, what is it based on?
* Can I use php_admin_* to set options have the PHP_INI_USER
attribute (or PHP_INI_ALL)?
- If so does that stop them from subsequently being
altered in other contexts (specifically in user scripts?).
Even after running a number of tests, I'm just not sufficiently sure of the
answers to suggest specific improvements -- but if someone "in the know"
could write a paragraph or two to answer the above questions, it would be a
major improvement.
(Shall I file a "Documentation problem" bug report?)
Cheers!
