I changed some configurations in my php.ini file so now I think I need to restart php for it to restart? So how do I do that? I have RedHat 8.0

Thanks

I doubt that you need to, but if you do, it'd be a case of restarting apache, as that's the service that runs php

Question: I had to make a few changes in the php.ini file (in /etc). What do I have to do, to make these changes take place? In other words, do I have to restart something, or compile something?

I tried to turn 'On' register_globals variable in the php.ini file, but when I do a phpinfo() I don't see the changes for either the Local value or the Master value. Is there anything I have to do, like compile a file or something to get it to 'On'.
I am really new to php, so trying to figure out some stuff.

The php version - 4.2.2
OS - Linux 9

Thank You.

Sorry,
I forgot to mention that I restarted Apache (httpd). Still it shows in the phpinfo() that the variable is set to Off.

What could be the solution?
Thank You.

if you re using ZEND then u will have to make changes into php.ini of that as well.. i don't know , it is king of wierd but i had similar problem way back and this is how i had solved it.

No, I am not using ZEND. And I am still tinkering around with the directories. I guess I will have to reboot the machine.

Like acid_kewpie said - restart apache. The php.ini file is loaded when the php module is loaded.

i already did that.
thanks

Check your phpinfo page to make sure you are editing the correct php.ini file. (see "Configuration File (php.ini) Path")
