PHP has been configured to use the following settings on our shared and reseller servers:

safe mode = off
memory_limit = 64M MAXIMUM
max_execution_time = 30 MAXIMUM
post_max_size = 64M MAXIMUM
upload_max_filesize = 64M MAXIMUM
enable_dl = Off

The above settings CANNOT be changed on a shared and reseller account. These limits are set to prevent extremely high resource usage in shared environments. We have found that a majority of the PHP scripts will work within these limits, and the scripts that require more resources are best suited for a dedicated server. Dedicated servers can have their limits raised to any value required.

We also set the following:

register_globals = On
magic_quotes_gpc = Off

These two settings, and any other PHP settings not aforementioned, can be changed using a custom php.ini file located in the same folder as the script that requires the settings.

NOTE 3e webhosting cannot know why you want nor need to change these settings. You are changing these at the advice of your webdesigner or the developer of your script. HostGator can only show you where to make the changes.
