The behaviour of the Apache PHP module is affected by settings in php.ini.
Configuration settings from php.ini may be overridden by
php_flag settings
in the server configuration file or local .htaccess files.

Here's a short explanation of
the configuration directives.
- engine
boolean
Turns PHP parsing on or off.
This directive is really only useful in the Apache module
version of PHP. It is used by sites that would like to turn
PHP parsing on and off on a per-directory or per-virtual
server basis. By putting engine off
in the appropriate places in the httpd.conf file, PHP can
be enabled or disabled.
- child_terminate
boolean
Specify whether PHP scripts may request child process termination on end of request,
see also apache_child_terminate().
- last_modified
boolean
Send PHP scripts modification date as Last-Modified: header for this request.
- xbithack
boolean
Parse files with executable bit set as PHP regardless of their file ending.
