PHP htaccess tips

Setup PHP when run as CGI / suexec

Place your php.ini file in the dir of your cgi'd php, in this case /cgi-bin/, .htaccess might look something like:

AddHandler php-cgi .php .htm
Action php-cgi /askapache.com/cgi-bin/php5.cgi

Use a custom php.ini with mod_php or php as a cgi

Article: Custom PHP.ini tips and tricks

PHP run as Apache Module (mod_php)

Add this to your root .htaccess file. Say your php.ini is in folder /askapache.com/ini/

SetEnv PHPRC /askapache.com/ini

Custom php.ini with wrapper for FastCGI and PHP

You can use FastCGI on php by creating a php binary for cgi execution, then you create a fcgi wrapper script that execs the php using FastCGI

Article: Custom php.ini/FastCGI/DreamHost

#!/bin/sh
export PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN=3
export PHPRC=/askapache.com/ini
exec /askapache.com/cgi-bin/php.cgi
# or
#exec /askapache.com/cgi-bin/php.cgi -c /askapache.com/ini/php.ini

Hacking and Hackers

The use of "hacker" to mean "security breaker" is a confusion on the part of the mass media. We hackers refuse to recognize that meaning, and continue using the word to mean someone who loves to program, someone who enjoys playful cleverness, or the combination of the two. See my article, On Hacking.
