While I'm not suggesting this (I don't use it personally as no
coder/developer should override my carefully crafted server configuration)
it is not as bad as you say .

If you had looked at the documentation (and as far I tested it also works as
described) you might notice that there is 'user_ini.cache_ttl' which
controls how often are the ini files reread. Setting it high enough (default
is 5 mins) won't give you any penalty at all versus the flexibility such
approach provides.

"High loaded" sites wouldnt probably use .htaccess anyways which makes me
think that the innitial poster doesnt really has one but asks for similar
feature.



p.s. if you specifically do not disable (make an empty string '' setting for
user_ini.filename in your php.ini ) php does this by default ..
