Yes, I agree with you. I think it's an "all-on" or "all-off" sort of
thing, and you cannot be terribly specific with it's usage. THe only
way I've found to combat this issue is to make a different virtualhost
or some such, which is what I'm ging to end up doing.
I did take a look at php.net's page devoted to describing exactly which
php_value settings can be over-ridden, and it does claim that this
option can be set in a per-directory context.
Thanks for your time
