``php.ini`` changes are global to all projects, but will only affect the currently selected
PHP version.

General
=======

You can set custom php.ini configuration options for each PHP version separately.

This is achieved by placing a file into ``cfg/php-fpm-X.X/`` (where ``X.X`` stands for your PHP version).
The file must end by ``.ini`` in order to be sourced by the PHP-FPM server.

Each of the PHP ini configuration directories already contain an example file:
``devilbox-custom.ini-example``, that can simply be renamed to ``devilbox-custom.ini``.
This file holds same example values that can be adjusted or commented out.

In order for the changes to be applied, you will have to restart the Devilbox.
