[php] Where is the php.ini file on a Linux/CentOS PC?

In your terminal/console (only Linux, in windows you need Putty)

ssh user@ip
php -i | grep "Loaded Configuration File"

And it will show you something like this Loaded Configuration File => /etc/php.ini.

ALTERNATIVE METHOD

You can make a php file on your website, which run: <?php phpinfo(); ?>, and you can see the php.ini location on the line with: "Loaded Configuration File".

Update This command gives the path right away
