register_argc_argv can't be set via ini_set

Question

i have following problem...

i have a webapplication and i want to use

register_argc_argv

in my php.ini it is turned off

Directive           Local Value    Master Value
register_argc_argv  Off            Off

now the problem is, i can't access the php.ini file directly because its on a hosted sever. and actually even if i could, i don't want to turn on the master value.

in my index.php the first rows are:

<?php
    # Config
    require_once( "php/config.php" );

   // some more of my source
?>

in the config.php my source starts like this:

<?php

    ini_set( "register_argc_argv",          "1" );
    ini_set( "display_errors",      "1" );
    ini_set( "display_startup_errors",  "1" );

    // some more of my source
?>

but it won't turn on.

Question:

Am i doing something wrong ?

Is there a solution for this?

Could this be blocked by provider ?

What i have tried:

• ini_set( "register_argc_argv", "1" );
• ini_set( "register_argc_argv", 1 );
• ini_set( "register_argc_argv", "On" );
• ini_set( "register_argc_argv", true );

And no PHP: How to override register_argc_argv? is not a dublicate because

1. this answere doesn't work for me
2. you see my first line and there is nothing executed befor
