Here's a short explanation of the configuration
directives.
allow_url_fopen boolean
This option enables the URL-aware fopen wrappers that enable
accessing URL object like files. Default wrappers are provided
for the access of remote files using the ftp or http protocol,
some extensions like zlib may register additional wrappers.
Note: This option was introduced immediately after the
release of version 4.0.3. For versions up to and including
4.0.3 you can only disable this feature at compile time
by using the configuration switch --disable-url-fopen-wrapper.
Warning
On Windows versions prior to PHP 4.3.0, the following functions
do not support remote file accessing: include(), include_once(),
require(), require_once() and the imagecreatefromXXX functions
in the Reference XLI, Image Functions extension.
user_agent string
Define the user agent for PHP to send.
default_socket_timeout integer
Default timeout (in seconds) for socket based streams.
Note: This configuration option was introduced in PHP 4.3.0
from="joe@example.com" string
Define the anonymous ftp password (your email address).
auto_detect_line_endings boolean
When turned on, PHP will examine the data read by fgets()
and file() to see if it is using Unix, MS-Dos or Macintosh
line-ending conventions.
This enables PHP to interoperate with Macintosh systems,
but defaults to Off, as there is a very small performance
penalty when detecting the EOL conventions for the first
line, and also because people using carriage-returns as
item separators under Unix systems would experience non-backwards-compatible
behaviour.
Note: This configuration option was introduced in PHP 4.3.0
