How do you find php.ini in ubuntu for phpv7.2

Question

I have installed PHP v7.2. when I do php -v in my terminal, I get:

$ php -v
PHP 7.2.0-2+ubuntu16.04.1+deb.sury.org+2 (cli) (built: Dec  7 2017 20:14:31) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) 1997-2017 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2017 Zend Technologies
    with Zend OPcache v7.2.0-2+ubuntu16.04.1+deb.sury.org+2, Copyright (c) 1999-2017, by Zend Technologies

Which php, gives me, /usr/bin/php?

But there is no php.ini in that directory. How can I find the location of php.ini?

locate php.ini will search for it. Though you also will need to update it with updatedb once after installing (the database is not realtime to speed searching up by a lot). — Rinzwind, Jan 03 '18 at 10:20
$ updatedb updatedb: can not open a temporary file for `/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db' — Ramasamy Viswanathan, Jan 03 '18 at 10:31

You cand find the php.ini file in the following directories:

/etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini
/etc/php/7.0/cli/php.ini

Hope it helps.

Where 7.0 is the version of PHP. You could include these commands with a little explanation, also the Rinzwind's comment, in your answer to make it complete. :-) – pa4080 Jan 03 '18 at 10:30
This is for the apache installation. This is differnet from what you get by running php in the terminal – Ramasamy Viswanathan Jan 03 '18 at 10:32
In that case, execute in your terminal sudo updatedb and then execute locate php.ini this will show the location of all php.ini files in your system. – galoget Jan 03 '18 at 10:34
@RamasamyViswanathan - look at the second bullet - cli means command-line-interface. – pa4080 Jan 03 '18 at 10:39

You can also make a file that calls the phpinfo() function. Simply add the following code into a file such as phpinfo.php in your webroot, and access it via the webserver.

<?php
phpinfo();
?>
