When does php.ini change take effect?

When does a php.ini change take effect?

Hi,

I’m just wondering, when I make a change to the php.ini file, how long before that change should take effect?

I ask because I am trying to set up WordPress ( http://wordpress.org/ ) to use Permalinks. I have modified myphp.ini as directed in this post ( http://support.jodohost.com/showthread.php?t=4024&highlight=wordpress+permalink ), but it doesn’t seem to work. I’m hoping I just need to wait a while?

I’m on a Windows server.

Thanks,
Andrew

Instantly…a few minutes…a couple hours…until a server reboot?
