If you have root access to the server you can likely use the path of /usr/lib/php.ini to modify the main system php.ini file.

From inside WHM, as long as you are logged in as the root user and not a reseller account, you can use the PHP Configuration Editor from under the Service Configuration section to modify the system php.ini file.

it should be enabled by default
if it is off then possibly it is disabled by

disable_functions = in your php.ini

Why do you want it enabled?

Having that enabled is an absolute gaping security hole, your server can and will be compromised extremely fast.

If your site is running in cgi mode, I think you can put a custom php.ini within you sites public_html directory.

You may also want to try to enable this using a php_admin_flag setting in your .htaccess. This way you can keep it off at the server level.

This is about the best suggestion you will get, I'd go with it!

If you have ssh, try: cp /usr/local/lib/php.ini ~/public_html/php.ini

Then edit that file
