Apache AllowOverride directive

There's a server for which I don't have access to the control panel; I can only access a directory by FTP. I need to know if the Apache AllowOverride directive is enabled in that directory. I want to check that Apache has mod rewrite enabled and that the options allow Override All. How do I do it with a PHP script? Thanks

I don't think there's any way to do that in PHP. The only way is to put some commands into .htaccess that depend on AllowOverride and mod_rewrite, and see if you get 500 Internal Server Error when you visit the directory by web. For example, you can put

Options all

to test AllowOverride Options,

Allow from all

to test AllowOverride Limit, or

RewriteRule .* -

(which does nothing) to test mod_rewrite.
