How can I override global PHP.INI settings on shared hosting?

Question

I have sharring hosting account on Linux Apache PHP with JustHost.

In my account exists a global php.ini that only admin of hosting company can access.

My problem is that when I run php script the warnings + errors printed on webpage.

So I create php.ini in my www folder and put 2 lines, but nothing happens:

display_errors = Off
display_startup_errors = Off

What should I do to override the global shared hosting php.ini settings?

Answer 1

Try putting these lines in your .htaccess file:

php_value display_errors 0
php_value display_startup_errors 0

Answer 2

Possible, your hosting provider restricts you from overriding default php.ini. Not always!
