[FX.php List] Bad apostrophe character confounds FMP

[Dale Bengston]

Hi Bob,

My kids just had your "Minnesota Morning and Holiday Favorites" disc  
on, while we made cookies. Not a bad Christmas Eve!

This drove me up the wall at a client site a couple years ago - I was  
trying to change the default file upload size. It turns out there is  
no php.ini file by default on OS X or OS X Server. It runs without one  
just fine, with the compiled settings, unless you give it a php.ini  
file. Good news: ther is a file called php.ini.default lurking on your  
Mac that you can copy and modify to be a working php.ini file. I found  
mine in the /etc/ directory. If you copy it thusly:

sudo cp /etc/php.ini.default /etc/php.ini

...and then modify the new php.ini file, then you can make changes  
occur to your php setup. Don't forget to stop and start the web  
service to have the changes take effect once you've edited the new  
php.ini file.

Hope this helps, happy holidays, and thanks for the great music!

Dale
