This document provides recommendations for configuring PHP settings in the php.ini file for WordPress. It discusses settings like memory_limit, which limits PHP memory usage and should be at least 128MB. max_execution_time defines how long scripts can execute, and may need increasing for large uploads. post_max_size and upload_max_filesize set maximum post and upload sizes. Other discussed settings include maximum_input_time, short_open_tag, error_reporting, and MySQL connection settings. The document provides guidance on PHP.ini optimization to support features like file uploads in WordPress.

2. memory_limit
Memory_limit, as you can probably guess by
its name is the command that limits the
memory usage of PHP within WordPress.
The memory_limit value that you set must be
greater than the file that you are trying upload.
This is the amount of memory required to
upload files or run commands. The
recommended limit is 128 MB.

3. max_execution_time
This command defines the time it takes to
execute each script. This command tells the
server how long it takes to execute the
commands.
It will take longer if you upload large files to
the server. You can either increase or reduce
the execution time.

4. post_max_size
This command sets the maximum data that a
post can contain. This value can be changed
to zero to remove the restriction. You can call
the server post using the POST method.

5. upload_max_filesize
This command sets the maximum file that you
can upload to WordPress. You've probably
seen the WordPress gallery limit on the
number of files you can upload. This command
defines the limit.
You must either remove or increase the
memory limit exhaust error if it occurred.

6. maximum_input_time
This command specifies the time it takes to
analyze each data. Data such as POST and
GET.
The command requests PHP from the server.
The time ends when the command begins.
The default value for this parameter is 1. This
limitation can be eliminated by setting the
value to 0.

7. Other PHP.ini configurations

8. short_open_tag
Short open tags look like this: <? ?>. This
option must be set to Off if you want to use
XML functions.

9. error_reporting
The default value is E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE, all
errors except notices. Development servers
should be set to at least the default; only
production servers should even consider a
lesser value

10. mysql.default_host
The default server host to use when
connecting to the database server if no other
host is specified.

11. mysql.default_user
The default user name to use when
connecting to the database server if no other
name is specified.

12. mysql.default_password
The default password to use when connecting
to the database server if no other password is
specified.
