Different values in phpinfo | local and master value

Issue

When changing the value for PHP variable(s), it may sometimes not take an effect.

Environment

The case here is the difference between the local and master values in the phpinfo:

• masteris either the value compiled into PHP or set via the mainphp.inidirective. I.e., the value that's in effect when PHP fires up before it executes any of your code;
• localis the value that's currently in effect at the moment you callphpinfo(). This local value is the final result of any overrides that have taken place viaini_set()calls, php_valuedirectives in httpd.conf, .htaccess, etc...

Solution

Please check the site's configuration files (httpd.conf/.htaccess, etc.) that may contain the overriding values.
