title: Using "auto_prepend_file" into ".user.ini" file in PHP
body: <p>I want to load the file <code>variables.php</code> (that simply contains variables) at the run of any pages of my project so I can use the variables from any place.</p>
  
  <p>I created a file called <code>.user.ini</code> (and placed it in the root folder):</p>
  
  <pre><code>; Automatically add files before PHP document.
  ; http://php.net/auto-prepend-file
  auto_prepend_file = /Volumes/www/project_name/admin/libs/variables.php
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It doesn't work. It seems that PHP doesn't read the .user.ini file. </p>
  
  <p>php.ini is right configured by default:</p>
  
  <pre><code>user_ini.cache_ttl    300           300
  user_ini.filename     .user.ini     .user.ini
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Where am I wrong?</p>
