I dont think you understand the question

I MUST use my own php.ini, php5 has been installed on the servers, you can find some info on it here

now if I put a php.ini file in a folder that folder is affected by it but not the subfolders, so when i turn off something like register globals its only going to be off in that folder so I get warnings from protector that its still on, and it is on in any folder that doesnt have my php.ini file in it
