weenoid Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Hey, question's in the title really. I have already downloaded a zip file containing the files, but I have no idea what to do with it. I've never installed any PHP packages and i've been searching the internet and I can't find any tutorials on how to do it. Any help is very much appreciated :). Thanks.

wildteen88 Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Are you're on a shared hosting or are on you installed PHP/Apache on your PC? If you're on a shared hosting account then you wont be able to modify the php.ini, however you could ask your host to enable it for you.However if you have installed it localy then you can eidt your php.ini file. in order to find out where your php.ini is located run the following script on your server:[code]<?php//make sure you remove the . between the p and the h before running this script!p.hpinfo();?>[/code]When you run that it should a lot of info about PHP and your server. Look for the line [ir]Configuration File (php.ini) Path[/i] which should be located about 5 or so lines from the to. Next to that should be the full path to your PHP.ini file.Hope that helps.
