I use PHP through the command line interface (CLI).

How to determine where the php.ini is used by PHP in this mode?

    1 answer 1

    Starting from version 5.2.3, the php command supports the magic --ini option, which displays information about the configuration files used.

    Example of use:

     php --ini

    Example output:

     Configuration File (php.ini) Path: /usr/dev/php/5.2/lib Loaded Configuration File: /usr/dev/php/5.2/lib/php.ini Scan for additional .ini files in: (none) Additional .ini files parsed: (none)

    This and other options for the php command are described in the official documentation .
