LAMP config settings

These are my development LAMP (Linux/Apache/MySQL/Php) settings. They are not meant for production. These settings are for really sub-optimal code which takes ages to parse and execute and accepts crazily insane amounts of input and POST data. You probably don't want to expose a server like this to the jungle which is the Internet :P

So as they commonly say, YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary). Yeah, I was looking forward to end up a sentence with it. I'm just going to do it again: YMMV.
