What are the alternatives to modifying php.ini when using a Freehoster, and what are the best practices for managing PHP settings in such environments?

When using a Freehoster, you may not have direct access to modify the php.ini file to change PHP settings. In such cases, you can use the ini_set function within your PHP code to override specific settings. It's important to carefully manage PHP settings within your code to ensure compatibility and performance.

// Example of using ini_set to modify PHP settings
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);
