FUDforum uses a lot of ini_set calls, mainly in install.php and upgrade.php. But I am on a shared hoster and on shared hosters this function is usually disabled. In case ini_set is disabled it is really hard to install/upgrade FUDforum.
Therefore I would like to suggest that FUDforum doesn't use ini_set. What do you think about?

Without the use of the function it is not possible to determine some critical bits of information regarding the PHP environment.

Well, I don't understand exactly why ini_set is required for getting information since I thought ini_set is for setting php settings, isn't it?

If you don't want remove it, maybe it would be possible to make sure that FUDforum also works with this function disabled.

During the install the forum needs to determine key PHP settings (PHP environment) to determine how it needs to work.

With ini_set? Why don't you use ini_get?

Because some settings such as the ones relating to error reporting often need to be adjusted.

In this case I would prefer if the installer would take care of disabled ini_set. Wouldn't it be possible to check whether ini_set is disabled and then warn the user that FUDforum couldn't change some settings?

I've added checks around ini_set() calls in the upgrade script and the installer.
