I'm running Slacko 5.3.3 with Hiawatha and PHP. All is running fine but I need to make some adjustments to the php.ini file.

However, it turns out there IS no php.ini file with my installation. find / -name php.ini turns up nothing. PHP is apparently running on internal defaults.

So I'm looking for a "typical" default php.ini file to use as a starting point for configuring this thing.

The first bit of phpinfo() is shown below. It shows a location where it expects an ini file but it's not there. And below that it confirms that no configuration file was read.

I just want to mention that this is solved.

I didn't realize that PHP checks the web site's root directory for a file called php.ini and that this file only needs to contain the parameters you wish to set or override. I had assumed that my php.ini file had to be a complete ini file and that the php engine would read my ini file instead of the existing one.

Silly me.
