Runtime Configuration

The behaviour of the Apache PHP module is affected
by settings in php.ini. Configuration
settings from php.ini may be overridden
by php_flag settings in the server configuration file or
local .htaccess files.

php_flag engine off

For further details and definitions of the PHP_INI_* modes, see the
Where a
configuration setting may be set.

Here’s a short explanation of the configuration
directives.

engine
boolean

Turns PHP parsing on or off. This directive is
really only useful in the Apache module version of PHP. It is used
by sites that would like to turn PHP parsing on and off on a
per-directory or per-virtual server basis. By putting
engine off in the
appropriate places in the httpd.conf
file, PHP can be enabled or disabled.

child_terminate boolean

Specify whether PHP scripts may request child
process termination on end of request, see also apache_child_terminate().

last_modified boolean

Send PHP scripts modification date as
Last-Modified: header for this request.

xbithack
boolean

Parse files with executable bit set as PHP
regardless of their file ending.
