Runtime Configuration

The behaviour of these functions is affected by settings in php.ini.

Counter configuration options

Name	Default	Changeable	Changelog
counter.reset_time	COUNTER_RESET_PER_REQUEST	PHP_INI_ALL
counter.save_path	""	PHP_INI_ALL
counter.initial_value	"0"	PHP_INI_ALL

For further details and definitions of the PHP_INI_* modes, see the Where a configuration setting may be set.

counter.reset_time integer

counter.reset_time tells "counter" to reset the counter used by the basic interface. It may be any of the COUNTER_RESET_* constants (see below).

counter.save_path string

Tells "counter" where to save data that has to persist between invocations of PHP (i.e. any counter that has COUNTER_RESET_NEVER or COUNTER_FLAG_SAVE). A file will be created at this path, which must be readable and writable to whatever user PHP is running as.

counter.initial_value integer

Sets the initial value of the counter used by the basic interface whenever it is reset.
