changes php.ini

hello,

I am new here and started to work with chronoForms and Joomla 2.5. I have a form with 30 items...when I put more items chromoforms go back to joomla admin page. I found out (in chronoforms FAQS) that you have to increase a few values in php.ini file. My provider allowed to write an own php.ini and to change a few values, not all.

I changed the file:

max_input_nesting_level = 128
max_input_time = -1
max_input_vars = 2000
max_execution_time = false

My question is where to put the own php.ini file? In which folder? I have no permission to put it directly to server folder of apache. I put in to Joomla main folder, but it is not enought. Can anyone help me?

Thanks,
Julia

Hi Julia,

I think probably in the root folder of your site - but that really is a question for your web host.

Hi Bob,

the hoster says ask chronofoms :-)
To put it in the root of my site is not enough. The hoster says php.ini is not inheritable to other php folders. It must be somewere where the real cause, the real php function (put or save formitems...) is.

Hi Julia,

The simplest answer is probably to change host.

The main folder that needs it is presumably administrator/components/com_chronoforms/

I'd try that for starters and see if it fixes the problem.
