php.ini

I can change php.ini values on my Apache and restart to see them in effect via a script showing php_info(). However, one setting is causing problems: safe_mode. I set it to "off" in php.ini but php_info() still shows it as

Local value: On
Master value: Off

How can I find out which local value is overriding the master value? There's no htaccess directive of that kind in the httpdocs folder in question...

(I already downloaded all files php_info() claims to be additional .ini files parsed, but safe_mode is not set in them.)

For example: I have my main php.ini file… >>> More
