Hi all,

I've just installed WAMP, I would like to change some parameters in php.ini but I could not find where it is. Please advise. Thanks

use Windows search.

or /bin/php/php%version% in where you installed it.

The problem with just doing a search is that there can often be multiple versions of php.ini around. Especially in multi-user environments. To find out where your specific php.ini is:

php5 -i | egrep "php.ini"

Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /etc/php5/cli
Loaded Configuration File => /etc/php5/cli/php.ini

Of course in Windows you'll probably not have any grepping tools, unless you've installed them manually so something like:

php5 -i >php.txt

and then you can load the text file into an editor and search for php.ini

The path where PHP looks for its php.ini file is built into PHP on compile time. To find out that path, use a PHP script that does a phpinfo() call. This will display a huge table of all of PHP's configuration variables. The path to php.ini can be found in the first part of that table, near the start of the page.

Geeklog ships with a phpinfo script in /path/to/geeklog/admin/install/info.php. Or you can simply create a new file (name it "phpinfo.php", for example) that contains the single line

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Upload that file anywhere on your website and call it up in your browser.

But don't leave phpinfo scripts floating around public-facing servers ...
