Comment (by Ipstenu):

 Andy, that's not actually how PHP works. WordPress doesn't know the
 difference, it just knows what PHP tells it. You can check by making a
 phpinfo file, and see what that reports. It will be the same as what WP
 sees.

 You may need to tell your host "WordPress is just a PHP app, so if PHP is
 reporting back the wrong information, then this is more likely due to a
 server configuration not prioritizing my local php.ini, or that my local
 php.ini is actually not correct. PHP isn't THAT smart :) "
