ini_set() generally has worked well for me, although sometimes things can't
be set with it (because of the way variable initialization happens).  Even
though variables_order is shown as PHP_INI_ALL (http://us3.php.net/ini_set)
it might be settable only in php.ini/httpd.conf/.htaccess.  See if that makes
a difference.
