When I see phpinfo(), it shows the path of php.ini file as: \apache2.2.22\bin\php.ini
But I want to load php.ini file from PHP executable folder. I tried to modify it from regedit but PHP is not available in regedit!
I am trying to create the php extension in c++ where I want to create extension for introduction.dll file. I copied this dll file in php/ext folder and set all the parameters in php.ini
But later I found that php.ini file loaded using phpinfo() was from apache!
Any idea?
Referring to http://php.net/manual/en/install.windows.apache2.php you can specify a "PHPIniDir" directive in your apache configuration (at least if you run it as a module).

The php.ini file in xampp is located here: C:\Windows for php.ini
The phpinfo contains this information:
Configuration File (php.ini) Path C:\WINDOWS
Loaded Configuration File (none)
Scan this dir for additional .ini files (none)
How can i change the directory?
open this file
"\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf"
find this block
PHPINIDir "C:/xampp/php"
change the directory
From my experience using XAMPP, it's better to put the php.ini file where XAMPP expects it to be by default. Typically XAMPP is going to look under its own dir. For Windows, it would look like, or similar to, this: [yourdrive_letter]:\xampp\php\php.ini . That's what should be showing up in your Loaded Configuration File setting. I always ignore whatever it says in Configuration File (php.ini) Path, because that's not really the ini that xampp is using.
Go look under your xampp directory and find the "php" folder. If it's not there, then it needs to be (unless you've somehow configured xampp to look elsewhere). So find the PHP folder you want to use and put it under the xampp folder. The version of xampp I have does not allow for switching php versions/folders "on the fly", so the folder MUST BE named "php". (Yeah, I've tried having two php folders with different names and just swapping them out -- that doesn't work well in xampp).
I don't see where I was telling you to edit anything under the Windows directory. If you can't copy the php.ini for some reason, then you can use the template for it provided by XAMPP and change it to your needs. You asked how to change the directory for your php.ini and your subject was about XAMPP so I assumed you have an XAMPP directory somewhere and knew how to configure it -- my bad. Most installation directions I've seen for XAMPP tell you to put it in C:\xampp. If you have it under a Windows directory, then you have my sympathy. If you DO have a C:\XAMPP, I'm simply saying to find a directory called PHP under THAT folder, and then configure your XAMPP to use the php.ini under C:\xampp\php. Under your 'config' option for Apache, you should see a file option called 'httpd-xampp.conf'. Select that to edit it; there should be a module called <IfModule php5_module> in there. Under that is your PHPINIDir directive. Change whatever path it's pointing at to "C:/xampp/php". Add the closing tag (</IfModule>). Restart Apache. (You may have to stop Apache before editing this file). If your XAMPP is in your Documents directory for some reason, then it's just a matter of changing the paths in this answer. I wouldn't put it there personally, but it seems your network people have you kind of locked down. Sorry if my previous answer was unhelpful.
According to phpinfo() the following php.ini files are loaded:
Configuration File (php.ini) Path /etc/php5/cgi
Loaded Configuration File /var/www/vhosts/mywebsite.com/etc/php.ini
Scan this dir for additional .ini files /etc/php5/cgi/conf.d
I've made changes to php.ini found in /etc/php5/cgi - restarted server - NO Effect.
This file: /var/www/vhosts/mywebsite.com/etc/php.ini has the note:
DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE BECAUSE IT WAS GENERATED AUTOMATICALLY, SO ALL
YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST THE NEXT TIME THE FILE IS GENERATED.
The server has these php.ini files
/etc/php5/cli/php.ini
/etc/php5/cgi/php.ini
/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
/opt/psa/admin/conf/php.ini
/var/www/vhosts/mywebsite.com/etc/php.ini
Could you please tell me which php.ini file should I look for?
If you want to add something to php.ini (as xdebug properties, for example), then you should use /etc/php5/cgi/conf.d folder (create or edit one of that files).
As for php.ini located in cgi - seems right that you've done. However, there still exists a possibility, that you can edit these files, but they are overwritten by general configuration by your provider. I would advice to check it locally, if the same configuration would work.
EDIT: /opt/psa/admin/conf/php.ini looks like a possibility of this variant.
Also I would advice to edit apache's php.ini, but it looks more like a magic path.
I had a syntax error at 1. line!
It was :[php] instead of [php].
PHP ignored my config file because it couldn't see a php section
For me that fixed everything; Run php -c 'path-to-php.ini'. It will show you more information.
I tried to make an PHP upload form on a windows server, but the upload didn't work because there's no temporary directory. I checked which value is set for the upload_temp_dir and phpinfo() says "no value".
Is it possible to overwrite the php.ini settings for upload_tmp_dir on a IIS? I have no access to the php.ini file. I looked for a possibility to change it with help of a web.config file, but with no result.
have a look at the function
init_set()
http://php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php
You can change PHP config by creating a ".user.ini" file. For example, the following will enable the short open tag for your site:
short_open_tag = On
Upload the file to the root directory of your site.
If the PHP version is 5.3 or 5.6 the file name is: user.ini
For any other PHP version the file name is: .user.ini
I've set magic_quotes_gpc = Off in php.ini,but I see it's still On in phpinfo();
First of all, you must be sure you modified the right php.ini file : there can be many files called php.ini -- and only one is "the right one".
You can see which php.ini file is used in the output of phpinfo() : there should be an entry called Configuration File (php.ini) Path that indicates the directory in which php.ini is looked for, and an entry called Loaded Configuration File that indicates the full path+name of the php.ini file that's used.
Then : don't forget to restart the webserver, so the modifications to php.ini are taken into account (Not sure that's necessary with IIS, but as it's required with Apache, I suppose it cannot hurt with IIS)
If that doesn't change a thing : what if you try to modify another directive : is the modification taken into account ?
As an alternative, you can disable it from your script too:
// disable magic_quotes_runtime
if (get_magic_quotes_runtime())
{
#set_magic_quotes_runtime(0);
}
You can check the php.ini file that was loaded via the php_ini_loaded_file function. Restart your web server.
On my installation the c:\php\php.ini file was named php ini. So phpmyinfo() was not loading it, despite the PATH environment variable including C:\php\. (Check this in a DOS prompt with SET PATH).
So rename it to php.ini.
It was difficult to spot in Windows Explorer.
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.
