PHP Configuration - Locating and Editing php.ini (Apache, Nginx, PHP FPM)

PHP’s initialization file (php.ini) is responsible for configuring PHP. In this video we'll learn how to identify which php.ini file your system is using so you can make setting changes. This is done via the phpinfo function.Then, we’ll learn how to get your system to recognize any changes to your php.ini file by either restarting your server or reloading your PHP Handler.
Server types covered:
+ A local server running Apache via XAMPP
+ A live server running Apache
+ A live server running Nginx with the FPM / FastCGI PHP handler
The specific settings we’ll update in the php.ini file include upload_max_filesize and post_max_size. Both of these settings are often updated when you build a site that allows file uploads.

Great video!
Another way of getting the loaded .ini file: php -I | grep "Loaded Configuration File" :)

[@codewithsusan]

Good tip! Just note that shows you the config file used by PHP running in command line which may be different than the PHP running on your web server.

nice video

[@johnyflodder2963]

Thanks for the video. It's quite useful. I have tried to do the same with the upload_tmp_dir by specifying /tmp as value in the php.ini (Apache, Nginx, PHP FPM), however phpinfo() keeps returning no value. Any hint on how to proceed?

[@codewithsusan]

Hi Johny - Which server type are you running? If you try changing another setting - for example the upload_max_filesize like I did in the video - are you seeing changes to that setting reflected in the phpinfo output after restarting?

[@johnyflodder2963]

@@codewithsusan Linux FPM/FastCGI. I could specify the upload_max_filesize and other non SYSTEM INI parameters without problem. Only upload_tmp_dir did not work as expected. I specified as /tmp as value for upload_max_filesize in the php.ini, however phpinfo kept returning null as value. It gave me quite a headache and I gave up and decided to use the system temporary dir, which is /tmp, in my php scripts. Thanks for the reply.
