NYCPHP Meetup

[Kristina Anderson]

Mike -- apparently there isn't one automatically created for the 
account and I've been instructed to create one myself.  I also 
uncovered some other settings that are required for the file upload 
which need to be set, such as upload_tmp_dir ... this should be a fun 
weekend.

The thing that confuses me is that the documentation says that PHP will 
first look for the ini file in the directory where the PHP script is 
being called, and THEN look for it in the root directory.  Does this 
mean that I can have more than one ini file in my application...or?

I think the best place to have it would be in the root directory where 
it can be accessed by any scripts...
