Reload php.ini on IIS

Making changes to the php.ini file settings will not be seen until the IIS (Internet Information Services) reloads or re-caches the settings. To check the current php.ini file settings, create a page that displays the PHP info.

Sample PHP info page (phpinfo.php):

Open your IIS 6 manager, expand the Application Pools folder, right click on DefaultAppPool and press Recycle. It only takes a second.

Then reload the sample PHP info page (phpinfo.php). The new setting will be listed.
