I am trying to upload image but it gives me following error
I've also added extension=php_fileinfo.dll in my php.ini file but still it gives me the same error as above image.
How can I solve it?
You may have edited the wrong php.ini file, as some environments can have multiple php.ini files due to different configurations of PHP. To check to see if the PHP version you are using is actually loading the extension, you can type php -m within your project terminal to see loaded modules, alternatively you can dd(get_loaded_extensions()); within your PHP somewhere to see similar results.
If your extension is not loaded, it most likely means you have edited the wrong file. Therefore you can type php --ini within your project terminal and check for the Loaded Configuration File. This is the php.ini file used by your CLI. Make sure the extension is uncommented within that file.

hello i'm getting this error in my error log:
"PHP Deprecated: Automatically populating $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. To avoid this warning set 'always_populate_raw_post_data' to '-1' in php.ini and use the php://input stream instead. in Unknown on line 0"
My wordpress version is 4.8.1 and the php version is 5.6.30.
I tried fixing the issue by creating a php ini file and setting always_populate_raw_post_data value to -1. But i still get the error.
If it cannot be fixed, how can i prevent it prints on the error log?
I'm using a shared hosting.

Your problem here is not that you cannot access php.ini and it is not that error shows.
Your problem, in fact, is that you use deprecated variable
instead, you could try using
file_get_contents('php://input');
php.ini is located somewhere in the php files on the server, which I assume you have no access to on shared hosting.
The php.ini file you created needs to be located where PHP expects to find its config files. You can see the configs which PHP is already loading using the phpinfo() function:
Upload a file named info.php with the following contents to your web server root:
<?php
// delete this file or comment out the below function when not in use
phpinfo();
?>
Then use a browser to navigate to http://yourwebsite.com/info.php. A page should load which tells you all about your php configuration. Look for the part near the top which shows information about the loaded configuration files. In particular, look for these entries:
"Loaded Configuration File" and "Scan this dir for additional .ini files".
If you have access to the .ini file listed as the Loaded Configuration File simply modify the value for always_populate_raw_post_data there. Otherwise, upload the .ini file you already created to the directory that is scanned for additional configuration files. Of course, you'll need to reload or restart php in order to reparse the configuration files.
If you don't have access to any of the locations listed from the above steps, it's possible your hosting provider may give you access to your php.ini file through cPanel or a similar means. Otherwise, your best bet is to contact them directly.
Finally, if you don't care about the actual configuration value as much as just suppressing the warning message, you could use the ini_set() function to set your error reporting to a different value, eliminating any deprecation warnings. The variable you want to set is "error_reporting" and a list of possible values can be found here.
In addition, since you are running WordPress there are some debug and error reporting options you can set in the wp-config.php file.
If your Account (on the shared hosting) using (or Configured) PHP-FPM, you can't do it via php.ini (if you create php.ini in your root, it will have no effect)
you can try: add this code
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
php_value always_populate_raw_post_data -1
</IfModule>
in your .htaccess file in your root directory, if not helps then ask the server admin (support) to change that in core php.ini globally for the given host.
You cant create a PHP.ini just like that. This is a core config file that is part of the PHP install. http://php.net/manual/en/configuration.file.php Read over this documentation to get a better idea of what the ini does.
The ini file could be located in multiple places depending on the OS and who installed it. If you do not have access to it, talk to your hosting provider
I have installed php by XAMPP and now I want to install the Phalcon dll, I have to add it to my php.ini
I did all the Phalcon installing steps but I did not get it is not working; I even removed my php.ini content and restarted Apache but php is still working!
IS PHP able to work without php.ini?
How PHP is working without php.ini?
php.ini file is not mandatory for PHP to work. It allows you to set up certain parameters, but if there's none then PHP defaults apply.
Why my php.ini is not working?
You are most likely playing with wrong one. Run script with
<?php
phpinfo();
and then look for location of php.ini. This will be the file you need to edit.
Run this code:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
to get full path to your php.ini file you are using
Use phpinfo() to check details and the path to php.ini:
<?php phpinfo() ?>
phpinfo():
Outputs information about PHP's configuration
Because every system is setup differently, phpinfo() is commonly used to check configuration settings and for available predefined variables on a given system.
I have installed PHP with Apache 2.2 on my Linux machine and all works fine following guide here
During the installation I had to copy the php.ini-development file into /usr/local/lib/php.ini, the question is why? Why exactly in this directory?
Default locations of the PHP configurations vary greatly by distribution. In any case, phpinfo() will allways tell you where is looks for your configurations.
So, create file with extension ".php" in your webroot and past this into it:
<?php
phpinfo();
Also, the default php.ini files contain plenty od usefull comments. Just read them and change what you need. Differences between dev and prod environments are usually only the verbosity. They show and log different ammounts of errors. Production usually shows no error at all.
(Debian and many other distributions put the PHP config into /etc/php5. This is actually the most reasonable place for configurations, but stick with what your distribution uses.)
The document you link to says this
You may edit your .ini file to set PHP options. [...]
If you instead choose php.ini-production, be certain to read the list of changes within, as they affect how PHP behaves.`
Have you tried something like
vi /usr/local/lib/php.ini
to see what's in it?
Maybe you need to read http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.file.php
You copied a default PHP.ini file, php.ini-development, to the standard 'php.ini' file in the location '/usr/local/lib/' the guide http://www.php.net/manual/it/install.unix.apache2.php
expected the php.ini file to be.
The php.ini file is a configuration file used by PHP when it is launched (runtime)
In the PHPs built-in server, I can see there are two php.ini-development and php.ini-production files, now, since I am trying to enable curl I un-commented both files and restarted the server, but everytime I need to use curl, php says, curl extention is not loaded, even with I checked even with extension_loaded() method, it seems like PHP is not reading from the ini files, or both files are not the real ini config file, and whenever I do something like dl('php_curl.dll') it says, undefined function dl() because, I guess dl is deprecated, so I am looking to find out the problem, if the ini files are not the one's I am checking or how to load this extention and where
Use php.ini, not php.ini-something_else. You can check which php.ini is being used by creating a page with this line:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
and viewing it in your web browser.
Those 2 files are just examples and never loaded. You are supposed to copy either of those files to php.ini.
How do I include a php.ini file in another php.ini file?
I don't think you can "include" .ini files from the main php.ini file.
One possible solution, though, might be to use this option on the configure line, when compiling PHP:
--with-config-file-scan-dir=PATH
Set the path where to scan for configuration files
If this option is used at compile-time, PHP will look for every .ini file in this directory, in addition to the "normal" php.ini file.
I suppose this is what is used by Ubuntu, for instance, which uses a different .ini file for each downloaded extension, instead of modifying php.ini.
The path to the php.ini file is being defined with this option, on the configure line:
--with-config-file-path=PATH
Set the path in which to look for php.ini [PREFIX/lib]
Still, it probably means you'll have to re-compile PHP -- which is not that hard, btw -- the hardest part being to get the dependencies you need.
And, here is a post on the internals# mailling-list that says the same thing as I do: config files and PHP_CONFIG_FILE_SCAN_DIR
One can also define the path in ~/.bashrc
export PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR=/usr/local/lib/php.d
I installed Memcached for php and wasn't sure how to make sure that its ini was included in my php.ini file, but as it turns out, it automatically is. You can validate what is being loaded by running php --ini.
php --ini
Configuration File (php.ini) Path: /opt/local/etc/php5
Loaded Configuration File: (none)
Scan for additional .ini files in: /opt/local/var/db/php5
Additional .ini files parsed: /opt/local/var/db/php5/memcached.ini
EDIT: My answer was mistaken. This only works in .conf files, which is not the question asked. Better testing showed that it won't work in php.ini files, where include statement is ignored.
I just tested it on Debian 9 (Stretch) with PHP-FPM. From some .conf file, use this syntax:
include=/path/to/special-php.ini
or even
include=/path/to/special-dir-full-of-conf-files/*.conf
as it is used in
/etc/php/7.0/fpm/php-fpm.conf
include=/etc/php/7.0/fpm/pool.d/*.conf
By the way, this will be most useful if you split your settings by topic, and or if you want a set for development and another one for production. Then you could do it the Debian/Apache style like
/etc/php/conf-available/
/etc/php/conf-enabled/
with symliks from the second to the other and an include to that one.
It seems you cannot include one ini file into another so it gets referenced and loaded. But you can set php up to load several files by telling it which folders to look into.
When using a FastCGI setup (possibly in FPM, too, though I don't know that for sure) you can export environment variables from within the PHP wrapper.
There you could do:
export PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR=/etc/php5/cgi/conf.d:/var/www/mydomain.net/etc
/var/www/mydomain.net/etc is just an example. It's the folder where you put your additional ini files into. It seems this can be a : separated list.
Use a phpinfo.php (file called arbitrarily containing only <?php phpinfo();), open the corresponding URL in your browser and check the list of directories that are parsed and the list of files that get loaded in the top area of it.
/etc/php5/cgi/conf.d should always be included (I guess because it was compiled into the PHP executable) and possibly not really be needed.
You can't. Read online pages:
The configuration file
SUMMARY: The configuration file
(php.ini) is read when PHP starts up.
For the server module versions of PHP,
this happens only once when the web
server is started. For the CGI and CLI
version, it happens on every
invocation.
.user.ini files
SUMMARY: In addition to the main
php.ini file, PHP scans for INI files
in each directory, starting with the
directory of the requested PHP file,
and working its way up to the current
document root (as set in
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']). Only INI
settings with the modes PHP_INI_PERDIR
and PHP_INI_USER will be recognized in
.user.ini-style INI files.
You could try to simulate it making use of the ini_set function. But as the "man page" indicates, not all ini options can be changed using ini_set. It's definitely a useful function, though.
