Find the location of the php ini file

Often when you need to edit or check the the php.ini file - you can't recall it's location.

If you are unsure of where the php.ini file is located - open a terminal and type the following:

php --ini

This command will list the path of the loaded configuration file(php.ini) - here is some sample output:
