In the PHP installation, there is php.ini, php.ini-development, and php.ini-production. I understand that the settings in php.ini are the ones that should be changed, so what are the other two for?

They are template files for you to copy over to your actual php.ini if you feel it matches your environment's needs.

  • Development environment offers verbose messages and comfortable optional features, what you want when you're coding your scripts.
  • Production environment is typically more minimalist (i.e. errors are logged rather than displayed, etc), for interacting with real users efficiently.
