How can I set php.ini values in a .htaccess file ?

Although we do not allow access to the php.ini files on our servers, many common php.ini settings can be changed in a .htaccess file. If you wish to make these changes site-wide, they should be made in the .htaccess file in your public_html folder. If you just wish a single directory and subdirectories to have these changes, create a .htaccess file in that directory.

There are two ways to change php.ini settings in a .htaccess file. The first is valid for boolean values (that is, settings that are either true or false). To set a boolean value use:
php_flag setting value 
Where value can either be 0 (which also means off, or false) or 1 (which also means on, or true).

If you have a setting which requires a value or string (such as a timeout setting or error log directory), you’ll need to use:
php_value setting value
Where value is expressed just as it would be in a php.ini file.

Please see http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ini.php for more information on the various settings. Settings marked ‘PHP_INI_SYSTEM’ in the ‘Changeable’ column cannot be changed in .htaccess, they can only be changed by the system administrator.

WordPress Plugin: Slimmity URL Redirector

This plugin is pretty simple, it masks your affiliate links or just long URLs while keeping track of clicks, it also has the option of counting the unique clicks of each redirection. This is more of a modification then an authentic job, while looking for a solution to hiding my affiliate links i encountered a plugin named Short URL while the plugin is pretty nice and gets the job done, it only uses ID’s and i like to use custom text rather then the ID’s so i started modifying it. At first i barely touched it and just edited the parts that called for an ID to call the description. But then i decided i wanted to control the unique clicks so i started to actually rewrite more and more of it. This last week i finally got my self to create a version that was safe for others to use, since i have been using my edited version since the site got a new design. Here it is, hope you like it and enjoy it.

URL Redirector allows you to create shorter URL’s and keeps track of how many times a link has been clicked. It’s useful for managing downloads, keeping track of outbound links and for masking URL’s.

Features

• Use of .htaccess to modify appearance of URLs.
• Control of unique clicks.
• Easy control of the link url.
• Easy to edit, add, delete or reset all clicks.
• Pagination of links divided by 10 per page.
