How long does it take to start seeing the changes you make in the php.ini file?

Question

The script I'm using requires allow_url_include to be on. My php.ini file didn't have it so I added the line to it. Is that ok? I'm on a shared server (GoDaddy) and I thought I read somewhere it takes effect after a certain time.

I got on a phpinfo(); file I made to look at the changes. IDK if that helps.

Answer 1

Matt, usually changes to the php.ini file are instant for our shared hosting services. If you are using PHP 5 you will need to create a php5.ini file instead of php.ini. See http://x.co/hQse for more details about this. Hope this helps.

Your browser might of saved it as a cache...that's what happened to me when programming a Java game.you should try clearing your web browser data and go to processes (If you have windows)and end it)then open it again

Answer 3

It's a cyclic change, so may actually take some time!
