<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The refbase PHP scripts will only work correctly if the following settings are present within your PHP configuration file (''php.ini''):<br />
<br />
<table border="0"><br />
<br />
<tr><th align="left" width="170">Directive</th><th align="left" width="70">Value</th><th align="left">Notes</th></tr><br />
<br />
<tr><td><code>session.use_cookies</code></td><td>On</td><td></td></tr><br />
<br />
<tr><td><code>file_uploads</code></td><td>On</td><td></td></tr><br />
<br />
<tr><td><code>allow_url_fopen</code></td><td>On</td><td>(only required for the "Import IDs" feature, e.g. import from PMID or DOI)</td></tr><br />
<br />
<tr><td><code>magic_quotes_gpc</code></td><td>On</td><td>(only necessary for versions prior to refbase-0.9.0)</td></tr><br />
<br />
</table><br />
("1" is equivalent to "On")<br />
<br />
Note that export to BibTeX, Endote or RIS (via [[Bibutils]]) uses the <code>exec()</code> function. I.e., if <code>safe_mode</code> is set to On in ''php.ini'' then you'll need to put the Bibutils programs within the directory that's specified in <code>safe_mode_exec_dir</code>.<br />
<br />
Additionally, be sure you've set the values for the directives <code>post_max_size</code> and <code>upload_max_filesize</code> to be large enough to handle your uploads. If you're experiencing script execution timeouts, you may want to increase the values for <code>max_execution_time</code>, <code>max_input_time</code> and <code>memory_limit</code>. As a general rule, <code>memory_limit</code> should be substantially greater than <code>post_max_size</code> which, in turn, should be greater than <code>upload_max_filesize</code>.<br />
<br />
You'll need to restart your web server to apply any changes you've made.<br />
<br />
== How to locate your active ''php.ini'' file ==<br />
<br />
Check your PHP documentation for the location of the ''php.ini'' file. Its location depends on the platform and PHP version you're using. Alternatively, you can call the <code>phpinfo()</code> function which will tell you the location of this file. To call this function, simply put the string<br />
<br />
<?php phpinfo() ?><br />
<br />
into a ''.php'' file within your web directory and access this file via your browser.<br />
