Set php.ini file Values Using .htaccess

If are using PHP as an apache module, PHP allows us to modify php.ini using Apache Configuration. This can be done using the following directives:

php_value name value 

Sets the value of the specified directive. Can be used only with PHP_INI_ALL and PHP_INI_PERDIR type directives. To clear a previously set value use none as the value.

php_flag name on|off

Used to set a boolean configuration directive. Can be used only with PHP_INI_ALL and PHP_INI_PERDIR type directives.

php_admin_value name value

Sets the value of the specified directive. This can not be used in .htaccess files. Any directive type set with php_admin_value can not be overridden by .htaccess or ini_set(). 

php_admin_flag name on|off 

Used to set a boolean configuration directive. This can not be used in .htaccess files. Any directive type set with php_admin_flag can not be overridden by .htaccess or ini_set().

In .htaccess File put following code

#htacces code format

php_value setting_name setting_value

#example

php_value  upload_max_filesize  7M

Of course you could simply place these in the .htaccess

It's actually very easy

WordPress Functions for functions.php File

Here are some of common functions in WordPress theme’s functions.php file that I would suggest you include in your functions.php file



Get Ping/Trackback Count

Here is an interesting one I used recently. This function returns the number of pings/trackbacks for a post. This can be useful if you only want to show a certain section if there are any pings/trackbacks.

<?php
/*

website: http://4evertutorials.blogspot.in/
*/

function pings_count($post_id) {
    global $wpdb;
    $count = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $wpdb->comments WHERE (comment_type = 'pingback' OR comment_type = 'trackback') AND comment_post_ID = '$post_id'";
    return $wpdb->get_var($count);
}


?>

Plain Text Feedburner Subscriber Count

Here is the classic: get your feedburner subscriber count in plain text. Note most of these functions make use of cURL and this one requires PHP v5+ (so you can use SimpleXMLElement).

<?php
/*

*/

function get_subscriber_count() {
        $id = "YourFeedId";
    $url="https://feedburner.google.com/api/awareness/1.0/GetFeedData?uri=". $id;
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    $data = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    $xml = new SimpleXMLElement($data);
    return $xml->feed->entry['circulation'];
}


?>

Get TinyURL

This one can be useful if you want to generate a short URL of your post for people to share.

<?php
/*

website: http://4evertutorials.blogspot.in/
*/

function get_tiny_url($url) {
    if (function_exists('curl_init')) {
        $url = 'http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url=' . $url;
        $ch = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
        $tinyurl = curl_exec($ch);
        curl_close($ch);
        return $tinyurl;
    } else {
        //cURL disabled on server; Return long URL instead.
        return $url;
    }
}


?>
