I think Jerome was working on a fastcgi\_param method to alter ini  
directives from the nginx conf. IIRC.

While nginx doesnt provide such option you can accomplish it with PHP  
which  
has exactly such feature for Fastcgi sapi -

In short starting with 5.3.0 php you can put a ‘.user.ini’ file in  
directory  
containing ‘display\_errors=0’ and it should work.

While I’m not suggesting this (I don’t use it personally as no  
coder/developer should override my carefully crafted server  
configuration)  
it is not as bad as you say .

If you had looked at the documentation (and as far I tested it also  
works as  
described) you might notice that there is ‘user\_ini.cache\_ttl’ which  
controls how often are the ini files reread. Setting it high enough  
(default  
is 5 mins) won’t give you any penalty at all versus the flexibility such  
approach provides.

“High loaded” sites wouldnt probably use .htaccess anyways which makes  
me  
think that the innitial poster doesnt really has one but asks for  
similar  
feature.

p.s. if you specifically do not disable (make an empty string ‘’ setting  
for  
user\_ini.filename in your php.ini ) php does this by default ..

it means for each requests, every directory from / to the full path of  
the script file, a check is done on the presence of .user.ini. This  
kills performances and should be avoid in high loaded sites.
