4) In the result page, look for the line which says “Configuration File (php.ini) Path”. It should be about 6 rows down in the table.
5) Note the location of your php.ini file. It is the active file PHP is using. Your server may have multiple php.ini files on it but this is the one that counts.
6) If you don’t have a php.ini file on your server (if the value is blank in the phpinfo.php script or if you go to the directory it lists and there’s no php.ini file there), create it one by one :
a) Download the complete source code from http://www.php.net/downloads.php.

b) Instructions on what most of the settings mean are included in the file.
c) The top of the page lists general information with examples. Do not change these values. Change the settings where they appear later in the file.
d) Note for safety purposes, do not change any default settings, just comment them out (by preceding the line with a semi-colon), then add the new, modified line afterwards.
e) Add a comment (using the semi-colon) to mark what changes you made and when. For example:
; register_globals = Off
register_globals = On ; Added by LEU 1/9/2007
9) Save the file.
10) Restart the Web server (Apache, IIS, etc.). You do not need to restart your whole computer.
