How can I find and edit the php.ini file?

Question

I am trying to find the php.ini file on Ubuntu server with the command:

sudo vim /etc/php5

However, this tells me that the file does not exist. How can I find and edit the php.ini file?

try sudo nano /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini then when you're done making changes, type ctrl+x to close, and then y to save. — viktorstrate, Apr 17 '14 at 10:25

If you're using apache2, it's located in /etc/php5/apache2.

The other answers can correctly locate php.ini files in the system, but to find out which one is used by the process you are running, you can use the php_ini_loaded_file() function.

Note that the file loaded is different depending on how you invoke php (apache, nginx, command line, etc).

This information is also available through phpinfo()
