Hi Mike,

Why do you want to know the path to PHP.INI? On a Windows
system, the path follows the following paths and if it does
NOT exist in the following paths, then you need a way to
point to the PHP.INI file.

..;%PATH%

Then Windows checks to see if the extension (.ini) gets
opened via the %PATHEXT% variable, then Windows checks to
validate if the extension (.ini) gets opened by any other
application via one or more keys in the registry.

You can use regedt32.exe to validate which application (or
program) opens the .ini extension by looking in this key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT

The HKCR key does nothing more than providing a way for a
default application (program) to open files with such an
extension. Many times people use NOTEPAD.EXE to open the
file, so just because a default application exists, does
not mean that the application EXECUTES the file opened.
NOTEPAD just reads the file and presents the text it finds
in it without trying to process any of the information as
anything but text.

The list goes on and it's been a while since I pursued
this topic. So let me know if this helps at all. I do
not know about the ways LINUX searches for the .ini file,
so I shall continue to watch this topic to see if others
add anything.

Thanks.
