What filename does my PHP initialization file need to use?
You can configure some of your PHP settings using a PHP initialization file. The file name your PHP initialization uses depends on the type of hosting account you have.
| Hosting account type | Filename | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Web Hosting (cPanel) | .user.ini | /public_html (one per account) |
| Windows Hosting with Plesk | .user.ini | Website root (one per website) |
| Managed Hosting for WordPress | .user.ini | /html (one per website) |
Not all INI settings can be changed in a .user.ini. Changes are limited to settings with the modes PHP_INI_PERDIR and PHP_INI_USER from the list of php.ini directives at php.net.
