php.ini (where? and how?)

[anakadote]

I'm trying to install phpmailer because of its SMTP authentication purposes and i haven't had any luck authenticating any other ways.

In the installation instructions it says to "Copy class.phpmailer.php into your php.ini include_path."

How do first of all find my php.ini file and secondly how do i copy into it? (The site is hosted on a web server so i never understand when i hear to find the php.ini on your hard drive.)

thanks for any help

I do not think you can acces it on the server, unless you are administrator there..?

Perhaps you should contact the provider?

you should be able to dump the class.phpmailer.php file into any directory you like and just include it manually as per usual.

putting it in the php_include path just means you dont have to manually include the file to use it.
