When you want to modify PHP configuration settings in your hosting account. This article explains how to use the MultiPHP INI Editor in cPanel, including Basic Mode and Editor Mode for updating PHP directives.
This option is only available on systems that run EasyApache 4 and allows you to make configuration changes to your PHP settings. You can edit either the account’s home directory or the domain’s document root. The MultiPHP INI Editor has the following two modes:
A] Basic Mode:
In this mode, you can select the domain or the home directory and make configuration changes to the desired directive values which are loaded from the php.ini file. The system only writes a directive to a .htaccess or to an .ini file if it supports the directive.
1. Login to your cPanel >> Software >> MultiPHP INI Editor or search for MultiPHP in the cPanel search bar.
