I am using the following command to check for configuration file for PHP installation.
$ php --ini
But when I press enter, it is showing no output. It just comes to a new line without showing anything. Please help me in finding which configuration file is used by my PHP installation.
Basically, I am following the method shown in this link for verifying my PEAR installation.
That should work - it works on my PHP 5.2.19/win32 installation - and I don't know why it isn't working for you, but you can get the same info by either:
<?php phpinfo(); ?> - and loading it in a browser. This will show you a lot of information about your PHP installation, including information about the INI file(s) in use.php -i from the command line - this will give you the same information as phpinfo() through the terminal. This may not work, if php --ini is not working. You could grep the output for instances of ini, e.g. php --i | grep iniSomething else that might be worth a try is redirecting the output of php --ini to a file, e.g. php --ini > phpini.txt.
Which PHP version are you running?
php --help does it list the --ini switch as being available?Try this, should output all your php info, configuration files included:
php -i |grep ".ini" 
php -r "echo php_ini_loaded_file();" 
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function php_ini_loaded_file() in Command line code on line 1Normally this should give you the configuration for your php. It looks like your php doesn't recognise the --ini parameter. Pass a php -h and look if --ini is supported by your installation.
What actually happens, your php is now waiting for input from you. Therefor it goes into the new line and waits for input.
What can also be, your system has set some default parameters for php by an alias. Call directly
/usr/bin/php --ini maybe this helps. You can check if something is set by using
alias create a file
<?php echo phpinfo(); ?> save as phpinfo.php
run file in shell php phpinfo.php
or open in browser for nicer view.
