i am php beginner

ini_set("display_errors", "1");

explain the above statement

it is used in index.php

I'm trying to run this:
Code: [Select]
<?php
ini_set('max_execution_time','3600');
ini_set('memory_limit','512M');
ini_set('upload_max_filesize','100M');
ini_set('post_max_size','100M');

phpinfo();

?>
Max execution time and memory_limit works but upload_max_filesize and post_max_size don't work. Are you allowed to set those at run time?

I'm using PHP 5.2.14 under Windows XP. I'm trying to use ini_set to turn on the 'track_error' configuration option, and it's not working. I make this call,

$xxx = ini_set('track_error',"1");

and it returns false.

According to the documentation, track_error can be set from any source (including ini_set). What could prevent that from happening?

Going back one step, I want to set track_errors so that I can fetch and process the error which occurs when mysql_connect fails. Since it fails, it returns no link, making it impossible to call mysql_errors. Whether ini_set can be made to work or not, is there another, perhaps better way to accomplish this?

In MVC type architecture, is it safe to do this

ini_set("mysql.default_host"$mysql_host);
ini_set("mysql.default_user",$mysql_user);
ini_set("mysql.default_password",$mysql_pass);

in my index.php file.

Then, every time time I do a query in a model,
 
mysql_connect(); // MySQL connects using the default values from the ini_sets we did.
mysql_query($query);
mysql_close();


The reason behind this, would be to avoid passing database variables to objects/models etc or defining constants.

Maybe there's a better way? I'm looking into database abstraction.
