Hi,

Just my 2 cents, but that sounds more like an issue with your
provider/hoster and not with PHP. I always thought of the additional
php.ini as a way to change some details and not a way to set up the whole
runtime. Especially when a user has write access to that file it seems to
me also an security issue, when PHP allows to set/change critical settings
there.

tl;dr: There is probably a reason, why your provider doesn't allow you to
change php.ini settings directly.

Regards,
Sebastian
