I just want to add something very simple to my php.ini settings
post_max_size = 2.5M
upload_max_filesize = 2.5M
But if I add a php.ini file to my documentroot, a lot of stuff changes. I'm pretty sure this is because it's no longer using the global php.ini which has some stuff in it. Can I not simply append some settings instead of overwriting everything?
Edit: My server is in CGI mode which doesn't allow me to use .htaccess to set php.ini settings.
