Making changes to the PHP.INI can be done for your account by doing the following. In this example we are turning on the allow_url_fopen & include functions for PHP:
Ensure the following tags are set in your php.ini
allow_url_fopen = On
allow_url_include = On
We have created an example PHP.INI file which you can use freely. To download please visit:Â https://www.hostmedia.co.uk/resources/files/php.ini.example
Once downloaded, rename it to php.ini (removing the .example from the filename) before putting it in your public_html directory
If for some reason your custom php.ini is not being read, please enter the following line of code in your .htaccess
SetEnv PHPRC /home/USERNAME/public_html
Replace USERNAME with your actual cPanel username.
