Finding & Editing the php.ini file

[lulubell]

Hi

Does anyone know how/where I can find the php.ini file - I working on the server using FTP and not sure where to look.

Any help would be most grateful

That file will be hidden from you. However i think there is a function ini_set or set_ini not sure, but i think you can do somethings that can modify the php.ini file a little.

It won't necessarily be hidden - it would if the server isn't yours, of course, because fiddling with it would affect everyone else on that server who uses PHP.

If the web server is Apache, PHP is compiled in as a module, and you have appropriate permissions to do so, you can also make some adjustements with an http.conf file in the directory in question. http://nz2.php.net/manual/en/configuration.changes.php

But if you do have the right to fiddle with it, you can find it using phpinfo().
