title: updating max_allowed_packet
body: <p>I have my application hosted on a shared server, I can't access my.cnf/my.ini file from my account, max_allowed_packet is set to 1M only, Now I need to change it to 32M, is their any idea either by PHP or .htaccess to change its value?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks and Regards
