I can't find PHP.ini location on my server. I've checked all Stack Overflow answers but I can't find my php.ini location.

I have Linux, Cent OS, zPanel. Last version of PHP.

My computer: Linux Mint 15 KDE.

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

cli_php_ini=php -i | grep /.+/php.ini -oE  #ref. https://stackoverflow.com/a/15763333/248616
    php_ini="${cli_php_ini/cli/apache2}"   #replace cli by apache2 ref. https://stackoverflow.com/a/13210909/248616
