• Manually via php.ini file

You can apply custom PHP settings on a per-folder basis using a php.ini file.

For example, if you need register_globals set to Off in a particular directory, you should create a php.ini file in that directory using file manager in cPanel. The php.ini file should contain:

register_globals = off

Naturally, if you'd like register_globals turned On you should specify:

register_globals = on

In order to do that you will need to access your cPanel and navigate to PHP Variables Manager. Select the directory you wish to change the PHP value for and under Variable place the appropriate PHP setting. After you click on the Add button the variable will appear below, so you can modify its value.
