How do i edit php.ini file in xampp server

I ran phpinfo and it said it was in C:\Windows but it's not there. It's not in the php folder. I did a system search and it wasn't found.

Where is it hiding?

in wamp its in `wamp\bin\php\php5.3.9` in xamp `\xampp\php\php.ini` — NullPoiиteя, Dec 21 '12 at 04:54
On my PC it is located `C:\Program Files\PHP`. If it is not there why not use explorer to search for it (and then make a note for future reference) — Ed Heal, Dec 21 '12 at 04:56
It may be hidden for some reason. Try turning on "Show hidden files and folders" in Windows Explorer. — DACrosby, Dec 21 '12 at 05:00
I just downloaded the php archive and unzipped it and linked it to apache by editing the httpd.conf file. — Ryan Peschel, Dec 21 '12 at 05:00

Run this code (and I am assuming your php is running, you are not able to just locate the php.ini file)

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

And check the location of the config file:

Location

The Loaded Configuration file says None. – Ryan Peschel Dec 21 '12 at 05:02
@RyanPeschel Did you try putting one in the config file path and see if it loads? You may just have a somewhat botched installation on your hands. – Tim Post Dec 21 '12 at 05:03
@RyanPeschel download a fresh one for your version and put it under that...and let me know if its working or not then – swapnesh Dec 21 '12 at 05:04
For anyone else seeing "none" there: In the default windows download, the ini files have -production or -development AFTER the .ini in the filename, which means they are not picked up. – Hobbamok Dec 13 '21 at 00:57
