Why change php_ini via .htaccess, if it is possible in php via ini_set? Is there a difference?

Question

PHP

Hello.
I found out that with .htaccess you can change some php_ini values. And I have a question. Why do it through .htaccess, if it is possible through PHP - through the ini_set command? Are there any differences in these two methods?

Answer 1

Change it as you wish, but keep in mind that not all parameters can be set through ini_set (more details in the documentation ), and through .htaccess it will work only if PHP is connected as an Apache module (which is not always used and not everywhere).
